First I want to say thank you for all the wonderful people supporting this community! so, THANK YOU!
My discussion is around editing other users profiles without them having logged in yet. We have users that need to edit profile information via the “edit your profile” link on other peoples my site page. Not a problem, I can grant access and it works fine as long as the user has logged in once into their my site as this updates the UserInfo table. However if they have not logged in even once then the page throws a technical error. Most of the time these people may not ever login. Is there a way to “fake” their login so that my staff can use the edit profile function?
Thanks for any thoughts around this!
Nico! you are my new hero!
New-SPUser - Worked perfectly. I will be adding this to our script!
Thank you again for taking time to respond.
Thanks Niico! I will check into that cmdlet. The User Profile Service application rights are working perfectly after they have logged in once. We will have many people that may never login, ever however we still need out staff with User Profile edit right to be able to edit their profile information.
Thanks again, I will check into that!
Hi David,
One thing that comes to mind is using the New-SPUser cmdlet. The other is granting your staff permissions on the User Profile Service Application, so they can edit profiles from there.
