You can only change a username if your users are not Windows Authenticated. If they are Windows Authenticated, the account is linked to Active Directory and your IT team will need to change the name there — this will then update in the software. For non-Windows Authenticated users, make the name change in Dimensions:
Log in to Dimensions.
Click System
Click User Records
Select the user whose name you want to change and click **Edit**.
Change the username accordingly.
Click **Save** to save the changes.
Once the username has been changed in Dimensions, FocalPoint will automatically be updated to use the new name.
When logging into the FocalPoint website however, the name displayed in the top right corner is derived from the user’s Resource record, not their username. Therefore one final step is required:
Log in to Dimensions.
Click Costing
Click Resources
Identify the resource record used for this user and click **Edit**.
Change the resource name accordingly.
Click **Save** to save the changes.
