All active faculty and staff employed at Swarthmore College have a profile in the Drupal CMS. The Drupal system pulls data directly from Banner (MySwarthmore) to create user profiles for all faculty and staff. Students do not have Drupal profiles. Some of data comes from Banner and other data comes from Drupal. Your profiles are a combination of both data sets.
NOTE: The user data comes from Banner cannot be changed (or edited) in Drupal. In order to update the Banner information, you must login to MySwarthmore. Learn more about editing your directory information.

8.2 Accessing Your Profile
Clicking My Sites will open a submenu below the black menu bar that has two options: View My Sites and View My Profiles.
8.2.1 View My Profiles
View My Profiles will list all the Drupal profiles that you have permission to edit. It will also indicate if the profile is currently published. By clicking on one of the names listed, you will be taken directly there and can begin editing the Drupal profile information.
Most Drupal users will only have access to their own profile. However, some departments are setup to allow certain members of their group to be able to access other people’s profiles. This is most common for administrative assistants of academic departments who often times support faculty with maintaining their online information (such as changing office hours). Learn more about editing profiles.
View My Profiles is currently selected.
Allows you to search the list of profiles.
Displays the profile(s) that you have access to edit. Clicking the name will take you directly to the profile. The list will also indicate if the profile is published or not.
Note: most Drupal editors will only have access to their own profile so only one profile will be displayed.
