** Description changed:
- Discovered when logged in as catadmin on myportfolio.school.nz:
-
Steps to reproduce:
- Create a new institution with some members
- Give one of those members the role of Institution Admin
- Masquerade as that Institution Admin
- Change the username of another member of the institution
- - Here, the page expects the 'Save Changes' button to be clicked in order to update the username
- - However, as I want to make further changes at an Institution level, I don't click save, I open the drop-down box to make further changes

+ - However, as I want to make further changes at an Institution level, I don't click save, I open the drop-down box to make further changes
- I then give that member the role of Institution Staff
- I then click "Update"
Expected outcome:
- - All changes made on the page are saved
+ - All changes made on the page are saved
Actual outcome:
- - Alert pops up saying "This page is asking you to confirm that you want to leave — information you’ve entered may not be saved." - with options to 'Stay on page' or 'Leave page'
- - I clicked stay on page, then "Update" again, with the same outcome. So I tried leaving the page.

Without knowing that I needed to press both "Save Changes" AND "Update",
it created the impression that I wasn't able to update the account
details. I was confused as to why the account holder had been made a
staff member, but their username hadn't changed.
Recommendation:
- - One submit button for the whole page
