User Information: Contact Info tab

Purpose

Use this Contact Info tab on the User Information form to:

  • Enter or edit identification and contact information about yourself.

  • View identification and contact information about a user other than yourself.

  • Request to change your logon password.

  • Request to change your secret question and answer.

Provided you are assigned the capability User can add, edit, and remove other users you can also:

  • Enter identification and contact information about a new user.

  • Edit identification and contact information about a user other than yourself.

In addition you can:

  • Submit the new or changed information.

The first time that you log on to MyLiveVault, this form opens automatically and you are required to enter information about yourself. You can edit this information later by clicking Users on the MyLiveVault menu bar.

The information that is required depends upon:

  • Whether you are entering information about yourself or another user.

  • Whether that user is only a billing/administrative contact, or if that user will also be allowed to log on to MyLiveVault.

Based on these conditions, the form displays the appropriate fields, and the appropriate required fields are marked.

For example, if you are creating a new user account for a user that will be allowed to manage LiveVault Online Backup Service, then the only information that you must enter is the e-mail address. When that new user logs on for the first time, they will be required to provide additional information such as name and contact information.

Billing Contact Information

When you create an account for a user who will only be a billing contact, you must provide the full contact information for that user.

We will send your LiveVault Online Backup Service bills and related information for your company account to the billing contact, at the company name and address provided on this User Information form for that user. To support the use of billing services and similar arrangements, the company name for the billing contact does not have to be the same as the company account name (entered on the Company Information form).

Fields and Buttons Descriptions

Field/Button Description
E-mail address The e-mail address for this user.

Because a user's e-mail address is unique, we use the e-mail address for user identification. For example, the user will provide the e-mail address and a password to log on to MyLiveVault. In addition, LiveVault Online Backup Service uses this address when it sends e-mail to the user.
