To change the PIC to a new Organization User, from the Organization Users page, select “Edit”, which is to the right of PERSON IN CHARGE. From the dropdown menu, select the new designated user and click the “Save” button.
WARNING: Once you click on the “SAVE” button, the existing PIC will immediately lose all PIC privileges. Once sure of your selection, click the “Save” button.
If the PIC is unavailable (i.e. left the organization without transition the role), email Hawai‘i Energy for assistance hecea@leidos.com.
