Overview
The Basic container lets you customize a user's personal details on their behalf.
In Edify Console, navigate to Account > Users > [User] > Basic container.
Every user can update some Basic settings in Edify App (Settings > Edit Profile > Profile > Basic container). However, the following settings can only be changed in the Basic container in Edify Console:
User Enabled/Disabled

App Theme
Much of the information recorded in this container is displayed for coworkers to reference through the softphone directory or when viewing the user's profile details in chat.

User Enabled/Disabled toggle
The User Enabled/Disabled toggle lets you grant or restrict a user’s access to Edify.
Enabled: A user is automatically set to enabled status upon user creation. However, you will need to configure User Permissions to allow access to Edify App and Edify Console unless these permissions were pre-configured using a template.
Disabled: Removes access to all of Edify. The user is automatically logged out of Edify if they are logged into Edify App or Edify Console. When you disable a user, their availability status changes to “Offline” and they are removed from any channels and teams that they were a part of. When you re-enable a disabled user, the settings configured prior to disabling the user are restored. This means they will be added to the channels and teams they were a part of before being disabled.
