4. Update Email – This will allow you to change the local part of the users email address but not the domain.
5. Email new password to user – This will email a temporary password to the users specified address (recommended).
6. Update Email – This will inform you to contact Scomis if you need to change any part of the secondary email address.
7. Email new password to School – This will email a temporary password to the secondary address specified.
8. Account Status – This can be set to the following options in order to remove / enable access to Hosted Applications as appropriate;
   • Enabled – Account is active.
   • Suspended – Account is temporarily disabled (i.e. maternity / long term sickness).
   • Disabled – Account is disabled (staff member has left).
