Managing team member information shouldn't require endless follow-ups or waiting for busy colleagues to update their own details. With Waybook's admin profile management, you can update avatars, email addresses, job titles, departments, and location information directly on behalf of your team members.

This feature keeps your team directory current during onboarding, organizational changes, or when maintaining professional team profiles across your Waybook.


What You Can Update

As an admin, you have control over key profile information:

  • Email addresses – Update contact information to ensure your team uses their company email address

  • Profile avatars – Upload professional headshots or update existing photos

  • Job titles – Reflect promotions, role changes, or organizational restructuring

  • Department information – Keep team groupings accurate and up-to-date

  • Location details – Track where team members are based for remote or hybrid teams


How to Update a Team Member's Profile

  1. Navigate to Team in your admin dashboard

  2. Find the team member whose profile you want to update

  3. Click on their name or profile to open their details

  4. Select Edit Profile or the pencil icon

  5. Update the necessary fields (email, avatar, job title, department, location)

  6. Click Save Changes to apply the updates

The changes will be reflected immediately across your Waybook, and the team member will see their updated information the next time they log in.


Important: Managing Shared User Accounts

If you encounter an error when trying to update a team member's email address, this typically means the user exists in another Waybook team. In these cases the user will need to update their email address from their personal account settings

Contact the team member directly or reach out to our support team if you need assistance coordinating these changes

Pro tip: When onboarding new team members, updating their complete profile information upfront creates a more professional experience and helps them feel welcomed from day one.
