SYMPTOMS

When you click Edit Item on the My Settings page to change your display name or e-mail address in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, the option to change your user information is unavailable.

CAUSE

In SharePoint Server 2007, the user information fields are read-only fields. This behavior occurs because the user information data is pushed from the SharePoint Server 2007 profile store.

If a user manually changes this information, the information is overwritten the next time that the user information data is pushed from the SharePoint Server 2007 profile store.
