Edit fields in Employee Profile Overview?

[Rikke Badsberg1]

Hi 🙂

I am looking for a way to make fields in the Employee Profile Overview widget editable. Specifically, I have added the time zone field from the user table to the widget under 'About', and I would like to make it possible for the user to change their time zone. Can this be done directly in the widget? It is possible to change 'preferred pronoun' and 'bio' from the employee profile. 

Thank you!

I have been trying to figure out how to make the phone number editable for the end users but have not have any luck yet. The script include can found by search for *ep_portalUtil

You will find the one with SNC which cannot be edited and the one without where you can add your code, but whenever I add something in, I get a load of errors on the portal and nothing is working. 

Would be so much easier if this would just be controlled by the ACL's

@ChristianDE , have you already tried setting ACL. If the field is editable on sys_user it should work. You can confirm this by impersonating the user and looking at sys_user data.

These fields are not coming from the sys_user table. As this is the employee profile they are stored in the sn_employee_profile table. I have assigned write permissions to phone number fields on both tables with no success.

@Rikke Badsberg1 , field should be editable if field ACL on sys_user allows user to edit that field. You can confirm this by impersonating the user and looking at sys_user data.
