8.2.2 Editing a User Profile

Editing user profiles mostly means to change their status. The Elastic Social Studio Plugin differentiates between four states.

Activated, approved

The user has been moderated by a moderator and is allowed to write, complain and rate.

New or requires moderation

The user has created an account, can write, complain and rate but was not approved by a moderator.

Ignored

Any comment of the user is rejected without notice. Older, approved comments are not affected. Only the user sees his comments.

Blocked

The user can not login anymore and therefore can not create new comments. Older, approved comments are not affected. Nevertheless, a blocked user can always comment as an anonymous user or register again. If you block users, they will get a notification by email explaining that they've violated the community policy.

If you delete, block, reset a user or change a user profile, a notification email is sent to the user. You can edit the default emails.

Approving a user

A user with state "New" will be shown in the Moderation View. Click [Approve] in order to approve the user. You can add information about this user to the Annotation tab below the user's data.

If a user is in the state "Blocked" or "Ignored" you have to open the user profile in the User Management window. Select Activated, approved and click [Apply] . The user is now approved. No notification will be sent.

This is an editorial duty that can be carried out using CoreMedia Studio tools before the deletion of the user (see Section 8.1.10, “Browse and Search all Comments”).
