User Access: To Modify Access for a User Account

The following activity will walk you through the process of modifying access for a user.

Attention: This activity is based on the U100 dataset. If you are using another dataset, or if any system settings have been changed in U100, these changes can affect the workflow of the activity and the results of the processing. To avoid any issues, restore the U100 dataset to its initial state.

Story

Suppose that you, as a system administrator, have received a request to modify access for Andrew Barber (formerly a warehouse worker) because of his transfer to a new job position—packline operator. This request has been justified and approved by his manager.
