Tip from your support team
We always recommend you to have two users who can manage users in your rooms. For security reasons, the user manager is the only user able to change any information of another user. However, they can not change their own information. Having two users who can manage users is the best way to be sure, in case one of them needs to update their information, that they will be able to do it.
