Edit your user profile

To edit your user profile, log in to KaiNexus then:

  This field is only editable if you have the "User Manager" permission for your Location.
• Update your First Name and Last Name.
• Username: Many of our customers assign usernames to their Users that match either their email, employee ID number, or their username from their work computers. 
  
  • Usernames must be unique; they cannot match another username in your KaiNexus instance. 
  • If you change your username, you will be automatically logged out and will need to log in again with the new username.

• Email: Make sure your email address is up-to-date to ensure that you receive all important notifications about your account and improvement work.

  • If you remove your email address from your account, you will not receive any email correspondence — including password reset emails — from KaiNexus.
