Users may now edit their default shells in their IDM profile. First, click your OUN in the menu in the top right corner of IDM. This will take you to your profile page.
Scroll down to your Accounts summary. If you have multiple LC accounts, each account will have its own default shell. To edit an account's default shell, click "Select a shell" and you'll be able to choose a shell from a drop down menu.
Once you've selected a new shell, a blue Save button will appear. Click this to save your changes.
Note that it is also possible for an account to have different default shells for each network the account exists on (OCF and/or SCF). This isn't visible in IDM as there are very few people who want a different default on the OCF than on the SCF. If you want a different default in each network, please contact the IDM admins to make that change for you.
In addition to your default shell, you can set a specific shell for each host you have access to. If you don't select a shell for a host, your default shell will be used. To edit a shell selection for a host, scroll down to the Host Settings section in your Accounts summary.
Each shell can be changed by clicking the link. The link will take you to a form with pre-populated fields for the host and account names.
All you need to do is choose the shell you'd like for that host. You may edit the shells for multiple hosts at once by clicking Select Hosts and selecting the desired hosts from the pop-up menu. Click submit when you're done.
If you have host settings and wish to revert them all back to the default, you can go back to your Host Settings in your IDM profile and click blue button that reads "Change All Host Shells To Default Shell". This button is a shortcut to submit requests to edit each host's shell to the default shell. You will be asked if you're sure before you proceed.
