My Profile provides an editing page that you can switch to when you want to make changes.
Note that some values may not be editable (maybe even all of them). These values appear on the editing page as read-only text or as links. If you have questions about what you’re authorized to edit, consult your system administrator.
Click the Edit Your Information link at the top of the My Profile page.
When the editing page displays, make your changes as needed.
While making changes, you need to know about the following topics (discussed later in this section):
When you’re done editing, click Save Changes, then Return.
Hiding a piece of your information hides it from everyone using the Identity Manager user interface, except you and the system administrator.
On the editing page, find an item that you want to hide.
Select the Hide check box to the left of that item.
NOTE:The Hide check box may be disabled for some items so you can’t select it. It’s up to the system administrator to enable this feature for specific items.
The editing page provides several buttons you can use while making changes:
The following procedures tell you more about using some of these editing buttons.

Specify search criteria for the user you want:
Use the dropdown list to choose whether the search is by First Name or Last Name.

The search will find every name that begins with the text you type. It is not case-sensitive. You can optionally use the asterisk (*) as a wildcard in your text to represent zero or more of any character.
For instance, all of the following examples will find the first name Chip:
Chip chip c c* *p *h*
NOTE:A manager lookup will search only for users who are managers. A task-manager lookup will search only for users who are task managers.
