Updating user information
System Admins can view information about users, update their email addresses, send or resend the invitation email to allow users to activate their Diligent One account, and update the subscriptions and roles assigned to each user.
System Admins cannot change their own subscription. Another System Admin must do this for you if you are a System Admin.

Updating user names
Diligent One users must update their own names from their user profiles.
Updating user emails
Email addresses change, occasionally. This is typically due to a change in someone's name (for example, after a change in marital status), or a company merger or rebrand. Do not change the email address on an account for the purposes of transferring that account to another person.
If you are a System Admin, in most cases, you can update the email address for any user in your instance of Diligent One.
This user will not be able to access Diligent One with their old email address.
Users who belong to multiple instances of Diligent One
If a user belongs to multiple instances of Diligent One, all of those instances must belong to your company in order to update their email. If a user belongs to an instance for another company as well, contact Support to update their email.
Users who sign in with single sign-on
If your users log into Diligent One through a single sign-on identity provider, update their email in your identity provider while or before updating it in Diligent One. If you update someone's email in Diligent One but not your identity provider, that person will lose access to Diligent One until the identity provider is updated.
Email addresses cannot be changed when SSO is enabled.
However, if email addresses require changes, the System Admin needs to disable SSO in Diligent One, make the required changes to the email addresses, and re-enable SSO. Otherwise, changed emails are identified as new accounts, and users will not be able to access information from their previous credential.
