Account Details and Settings

The Account Details page is the central place to view your ESU 2 Grow account. It shows your basic account information, photo, entity memberships, and other information available to you based on your permissions. From this page you can also change your password and open the pages used to edit your account, profile, and preferences.

Editing your account

Click Edit Account near the top of the Account Details page to open Account Edit. The fields available on that page depend on your permissions and your site's configuration.

Your screen may look a little different

Administrators can see and edit additional account fields that are not available to most users. If a field described below does not appear for you, it may be administrator-only or disabled for your site.

Required fields are marked with a red asterisk

Any field with a red asterisk next to its label must be completed before the account can be updated.

Basic account information

First, Middle, and Last Name

Your name as it appears throughout ESU 2 Grow. First Name and Last Name are normally required; Middle Name is optional.

Email

The email address associated with your account. ESU 2 Grow can use this address for account-related messages and password recovery. If your site uses email addresses for login, changing it also changes the email address you use to sign in.

Job Title

Your job or role title, such as "Programmer Analyst" or "Curriculum Director."

Photo and avatar

Account Edit can include separate uploads for your account photo and avatar. You can replace either image by choosing a new file, or remove the existing image with the corresponding Clear Current... button.

Photo

The larger image shown on your Account Details page and in other account displays.

Avatar

A smaller account image that can be used in areas where a compact image is needed.

Entity and work contact information

If your account belongs to more than one entity, Account Edit shows each entity separately. Work contact information is stored with the individual entity, so you may have different work phone information for different entities.

Entity

The school, organization, department, or other entity connected to your account. Entity assignments are typically managed by an administrator.

Work Phone and Extension

Your work phone number and optional extension for that entity.

Work Cell

Your work cell number for that entity, if one is used.

Default Entity

If you belong to multiple entities, one can be marked as your default. ESU 2 Grow uses the default entity when it needs a primary entity for your account.

Private and administrative information

Private contact information is administrator-only

Private contact information is not shown to ordinary ESU 2 Grow users. Administrators may be able to view or edit it for administrative or emergency-contact purposes.

Home Phone and Personal Cell

Private phone numbers associated with the account.

Home Address

The private mailing address stored for the account, including Address 1, Address 2, City, State, and ZIP.

Dietary Restrictions / Other Concerns

An optional private field for information the organization may need to know. Whether this field is used depends on your site.

Admin Comments

An administrator-only notes field. This may not appear when users edit their own accounts.

Emergency contact information

Account Edit can store a primary and secondary emergency contact. Each contact includes a name, relationship, and phone number.

Primary Contact

The first person to contact in an emergency, including their relationship to you and the best phone number to reach them.

Secondary Contact

An optional second emergency contact in case the primary contact cannot be reached.

Administrator-only controls

Administrators may see additional controls on Account Edit, including:

Verified Email

Indicates whether the account's email address has been verified.

Active

Controls whether the account is active. This is normally managed by an administrator.

Other account actions

Depending on your permissions, additional buttons may appear at the top of Account Details.

Edit Preferences

Opens your personal ESU 2 Grow settings, such as layout, page size, and available email preferences.

Edit Profile

Opens profile information such as roles, grades, and subjects.

Administrative actions

Administrators may also see tools for managing entities, positions, email, and other account settings.

Help

Opens help information related to the account page when that option is available.
