Self Update by Contact in Webform?

💬 General Discussion

Greetings community!

I am new to suiteCRM and am tinkering with it in preparing to migrate an old Access database to it. One functionality I dream of is if a contact would be able to update their own information, e.g. if their e-mail address changed, etc. through a webform somehow? I guess this would entain some kind of token in order to authenticate that the user updating their info is in fact the contact of record.

Any tips or suggestions for achieving this functionality would be highly appreciated!

Thank you in advance.

The joomla portal works by using the suitecrm>contact>create portal user function. This creates the user in the joomla portal and uses the email address as username authentication.

You would need to extend the portal to enable user self service via the REST API
