Locked Profile Fields
When editing profile fields you will notice that some have a lock () icon next to them.
Locked fields are unable to be edited or deleted. This is because these are primary information fields that Breeze uses throughout the platform (such as mailing labels, directories, text messaging, emailing, etc).
You can move locked fields to a less visible section in your Profile Fields and/or Hide it from View from the Permissions of each Role.
You can also manually replicate the locked profile fields if you would like to customize them. If you do this, please note that they will not respond to the additional Breeze functions listed above.
