    The Person Details tab of the Edit Person page lets you edit any part of a user profile, including fields that users don’t have permission to edit.

    Note: Genesys Cloud has built-in logic around Work Phone 1-4 fields that it uses to route calls. Therefore, these fields should not be reused elsewhere in the application. If you need to add an additional phone number, use a field other than the Work Phone 1-4 fields.
