Update an employee's username (email) as an admin
Step 1 of 2: Planday administrator updates username
Planday Administrators can update an employee's username at any time by editing their profile. This process also requires action from the employee to confirm the change of email before this modification is made permanent.

On the right side, underneath the User Actions menu, press Edit username.
Enter the new username and press Save.
Please write the correct email address, as login details will be sent there. The old username remains active until the employee confirms this change by clicking a link sent to their new e-mail.
Step 2 of 2: Employee confirms the change in their new email
Once you have changed the username, the employee will receive an email containing a verification link in their new email address.
Only after the employee presses "Click to verify my email" will the change be made permanent.
