3. In the Batch Users list, select the batch user to edit.

4. In the Batch User Details section, update the fields as needed.

   • Windows / SQL — Update the User field (format: DOMAIN\User) and the Password and Confirm Password fields if the password is changing.
   • UNIX — Update the Group/User field using the format group/user.
   • IBM i — Update the User Profile field.
   • MCP / OpenVMS — Update the Identifier field.
