[Building Sakai] Profile 2 Email Change

Mon Apr 2 06:09:24 PDT 2012

What you are looking at is the Admin Users tool which is a bit different to the Accounts tool. The permission change will have no effect there since you are an admin and all tests will return true.

You'll need to get to the Account tool as a normal user and adjust the realm permissions for the !user.template.<USERTYPE> realm. Then check what happens in the Account tool for a user. You may need to logout and back in again. Get it to a point where the user cannot change their email address, then check Profile2. If they can still change their email address there, then that is a bug, so please comment on this Jira:
https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/PRFL-717

And I'll fix it.

cheers,
Steve
