Admin user unable to edit user profile

[kvadning]

Hi,

i am experiencing some issues with my current Alfresco installation and any help would be great!
Some Admin users are unable to edit other user's profiles because the fields are disabled. Is this a config issue or something that I am missing?

Can this be fixed by altering the authentication chain?

The current authentication chain is:
authentication.chain=ldap-ad1:ldap-ad,alfrescoNtlm1:alfrescoNtlm

I tried altering it to:
authentication.chain=alfrescoNtlm1:alfrescoNtlm,ldap-ad1:ldap-ad
But this caused some users to be unable to log in.

What am I missing?

That has nothing to do with the authentication or permission.
The user profile interface is limiting that.
It seems some attributes are considered "personal", and for that reason, only the user owning those attributes can change them.

In order to allow the attributes to be changed by the admin user, you will have to extend the user-profile webscript and change the way the form controls are returned to the browser.
