This will bring up the form for the contact in question, showing you the details of the contact. If you scroll down to the bottom of the form, you can find the "Edit Settings" and "Delete" buttons, which will allow you to edit the contact or delete it.

When deleting a contact, you will be prompted with a confirmation button before the contact is deleted.

=== Users ===
The users section details the various users associated with your account. You can think of a user as a unique account login that can used to access the control panel. It can be accessed by clicking on the "Users" tab next to "Authorized Contacts".
The users you see listed are generated by the system according to the various services you have. The username can be seen under the "Username" column, and the service it is associated with can be seen under the "Service" column.

==== Editing Existing Users ====

By default, only existing users with usernames can login to the panel. Currently if there are more than one user on the account, no one is granted admin permission until you call in and we can verify which account should have admin permission. You can grant other users the ability to manage your account should you want to give admin access to other people, or just use an alternative username.

Similar to editing Authorized Contacts, click on the little gear icon to bring up the editing screen.

Here you will see a list of options pertaining to different parts of your account, allowing you to determine specifically what parts of the account the different users can access and edit.

Once you're satisfied with the various permissions for a user, you can scroll to the bottom and click on the 'Save Changes' button.

Note that if you enable Administrative management, the other options will disappear, as the administrative management option gives full control over the account.
