As an account admin I want to enable my staff and students to take advantage of user profiles. Im not seeing how to turn this on at the admin level. Can anyone help?

If I set…

Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
