The only change that cannot be made to a user's account is their password.

Add or Change a Setting to an Individual Profile that Overrides Their User Role
In some cases, you may wish to alter a User's Permissions, but not those of anyone else in their User Role. Rather than create a unique User Role just for them, you can override permissions in their role, which will apply just to them.
Access Override
Access Overrides (the equivalent of the Role Info tab in User Roles) are general permissions overrides, such as edits to Administrative Settings, Device modifications, how users can send and receive packages, or what Productions they can upload and tag into.
Rules Override Tabs
Rules overrides dictate what files a user can see and interact with in File Search, and what Users they can see in the system and therefore share packages with.
Create rules for an individual user in these tabs.
In 6.6, If you make overrides to the Rules Tabs in this section you will be negating / overriding any rules set up for the user in their assigned User Role.
In 7.0, override rules are now additive to the existing User Role.
For specific details about what each permission is and what an override looks like when applied, go to Users Module: Manage Users Overview.
Deactivate, Reactivate or Lock User Accounts
On the left side of the Manage Users section, you deactivate, reactivate, lock, and delete user accounts, simply by checking on the names you wish to change. You'll be presented with an assortment of buttons providing you with these options. Select the button to complete you desired action.
For detailed instructions on this, go to Admin Guide: Locking, Deactivating, and Deleting Users.

To better understand a problem that a user is experiencing, you may need to go into their account to see the issue. To do so, you can select the Impersonate button to switch to the user's experience. Refresh your page when you do so to load all of their settings.
When you're done viewing their account, select the Back to Original User link next to the user name in the top bar. Again, refresh your browser page to reload your Admin tools.
