Staff accounts have basic information like name, phone number, position and email links added automatically to staff directories or staff pages. This information can be edited in the My Account area once logged in.
Staff members can update their password in this area if the account is using Foxbright authentication. If the account is setup using Single Sign On or via Active Directory, the password will be managed internally in the organization.

In the Profile tab, a user can update their Profile Photo, activate their profile and
update their profile summary (if activated). See below for more information on the profile summary field.

Profile Summary
Many websites don't have the profile summary field activated, or the field isn't being used for most staff members.
Some websites have the Profile Summary field activated in the user account's profile tab. This rich text field is used for the following:
- Staff Cards (most common) - Staff cards is a type of staff directory that displays profile pictures and profile summary in grid of 'cards'. When used, the details in the profile summary field are included in the staff member's card. The summary should be a brief introduction to the staff member. Additional information about a staff member, or detailed classroom information should be reserved for the staff member's staff page.
