Note: If the email address entered is already being used for another user account. This warning message will appear "The email address entered is already associated with another user account. Associating this email address with this account will prevent both accounts from resetting their password without assistance from the club. Are you sure you want to proceed?"

The user profile also provides administrators the ability to issue a password reset request and modify the Roles assigned to the user account.
Note: If editing a Member user account, First Name, Middle Name, Last Name and the Email Address should be updated in the club's accounting system.
