Editing A Member Record

Estimated reading: 2 minutes 46 views Contributors

Once a member has joined your Social System Map, either the member can edit their own profile settings or the map administrator can update them from the backend.

You’ll use this when:

A map member changes their last name.
A member wants a new email address associated with their profile.
You need to update a member’s segment.
A member wants to manage their visibility, connections, or email preferences.

Why It’s Helpful

Updating profile information solves simple but essential changes, such as:

Correcting or updating a last name.
Changing a preferred email address.
Assigning a new segment.
Letting map members manage visibility on the map.
Allowing members to opt in or out of connection visibility or project emails.

Members can disable visibility on the map, hide themselves from the connections tab, or opt out of mapping project emails in their ‘My Preferences’ settings.

⚠️ Important Notes:

Mapping project administrators cannot enable or disable a member’s visibility, connection-tab appearance, or project email opt-ins from the ‘Edit project member’ tab of your mapping project.
These settings can only be managed from the ‘Member members‘ tab within the mapping project.
