The staff member who you wish to manage your content in Pure will require a user account of their own. Accounts can be requested here. Once the member of staff has a Pure account, you can grant them Trusted User access. A guide explaining how Trusted User access can be set up can be found here.

How do I edit incorrect personal data held in Pure?
Your personal record is made up of a combination of data from the University’s corporate systems and data which can be entered in Pure.
Data which is brought into Pure from another system cannot be edited in Pure. To maintain data consistency, any corrections to data should be made in the source system. Once the data corrections have been made by the source system owners, the data in Pure will then update (usually within 24 hours).
The following systems provide different elements of person data -
• HR (ResourceLink) – most personal information, including organisational affiliations
• Campus Solutions – details of PGR student supervisions
• Oracle CRM – details of the University’s internal hierarchy (Faculties, Schools, Institutes)
• Staff Directory – address details
If you find that there is an error in your personal data please contact the Pure support team who can liaise with the owners of the corporate systems to correct your data.
Some fields can be edited directly in Pure. These include your profile photo, links to websites, biographical information such as research interests and education and qualification details.
