For each user record the following is listed:

  * their user name
  * their currently assigned security level within Mystic
  * a unique UserID record that was created in Mystic at the time they registered

Select a user name and press enter to reveal six pages of information about the user that can be edited.
We'll detail each page below.

**Note:** The default security level that is assigned a new user is set in [[config_newuser_settings1|New User Settings 1]] of the Mystic BBS Configuration System. In the example above we have one new user, one regular user, and one SysOp who has the highest security level of 255.
  
==== Information ====

This page contains personal information supplied by the user at the time they registered. 

Note:

  * For new users to be able to register with Mystic BBS the [[config_newuser_settings1#allow_new_users|Allow New Users]] option must be enabled in New User Settings.
  * Not all fields may have been completed as not all may have been asked of the user at the time s/he registered. To set what is/is not asked take a look at the [[config_newuser_settings2|New User Settings 2]] section of the Mystic BBS Configuration System.

This screen allows the sysop to assign a security level from 1-255 where 255 is System Operator. Mystic ships with three default security levels defined (more can be added) and each has a set of associated privileges. The sysop can choose the security level they wish to assign and press enter to confirm it.

The / key will bring up a further command menu option to show/hide other security levels that do not have a description and are assumed to be undefined.

To set the privileges associated with a given security level the sysop uses the **Security Level Editor**. 

A users security level can also be altered in the Settings 1 page of the User Editor.

=== CTRL+P Reset PW ===

This option is available on all six pages of the user editor.

This option allows the sysop to set a new password for the user. User passwords can not be seen by the sysop and this option is one way a sysop can help a user (if need be) to reset their password. 

Another option is to enable the Allow Reset by E-Mail option in the [[config_user_password_policy|User Password Policy]] section of Mystic.

==== Settings 1 ====

This page contains a number of settings specific to the user that can be set or altered by the sysop.
