# Change the Default user email address for tablet enrollment

Executive Summary
-----------------

The **Default user** in Hexnode can be edited from the **Manage** tab like other user records. This is useful when tablets are enrolled under a default user and the email address tied to that user needs to be changed. The update is performed from the user profile by opening the Default user entry and selecting **Actions > Edit User**.

When to change the Default user email address
---------------------------------------------

Update the email address for the **Default user** when the email currently associated with the user record is no longer valid, needs to be reassigned, or must match the email address used for tablet enrollment workflows.

 Note: 
This article applies to the **Default user** record visible under **Manage > Users**. The user must be available in the user list to edit its details.

 

Change the Default user email address
-------------------------------------

1. Go to **Manage** in the Hexnode portal.
2. Select **Users**.
3. Search for **Default user**.
4. Click the **Default user** entry to open the user details.
5. Click **Actions**.
6. Select **Edit User**.
7. Update the email address in the user details.
8. Save the changes.

Expected result
---------------

The email address associated with the **Default user** is updated in Hexnode. Future references to this user record, including tablet enrollment contexts that use the Default user, will reflect the updated user email address.
