Forum rules
What to do if you have a technical problem with OJS:

1. Search the forum. You can do this from the Advanced Search Page or from our Google Custom Search, which will search the entire PKP site. If you are encountering an error, we especially recommend searching the forum for said error.

2. Check the FAQ to see if your question or error has already been resolved.

3. Post a question, but please, only after trying the above two solutions. If it's a workflow or usability question you should probably post to the OJS Editorial Support and Discussion subforum; if you have a development question, try the OJS Development subforum.

Can't change users email address

Postby kerseyd » Thu Mar 22, 2007 10:44 am

Hi. We are just getting going with setting up a journal in OJS, and have run into an odd problem. One of our editors wants to change the email address she uses, but when we enter the new address in her user profile, we get back an error indicating that someone else is currently using that address. However, when we search for a user with that email address, there is none. (Also, we can imagine situations in which two users would want to use the same email address - shouldn't that be permissible?) Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi kerseyd,

We don't permit two accounts to share an email address; there are enough free email providers out there that no two users should have to share. See http://pkp.sfu.ca/support/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1647 for some discussion on how to find a user who doesn't appear on the "All Users" list -- briefly, that list only shows users who have a role in the journal, and you may need to give them one (e.g. Reader) before they'll appear. Use the "Enroll Existing User" link at the bottom of the "All Users" page, choose a role (e.g. Reader), and enroll them.

Regards,
