A summation of the User Management page

To edit a user’s status, locate their NetID by sorting through the different pages of users. You can widen your search by changing to number of results per page. To do this, locate the Page number in the lower left corner of the page. It should say something like – Page 1 of 39 | Page Size:

To the right of this text there should be a dropdown box. Click it, and then change the number of results per page. This should speed up your search. You can then change pages by clicking Next > or Last >>. You can also select the dropdown box located next to Page: and jump to a certain page.

After you have located the user you wish to change, click the Edit box located on the right most portion of the table.

You can now alter their ‘Payroll Type’ by clicking the drop-down box under that heading and selecting either Bi-Weekly or Monthly.

You can also alter their ‘Assigned Group’ by clicking the drop-down box under that heading and selecting the desired group.

After your changes have been finalized, click the Save button.
