RH: sectionsContents =

    "firstName",
    "lastName",
    "emailAddress",
    "phone",
    "phoneExtension",
    "mobile"),
  (
    "Address",
    "address.address1",
    "address.address2",
    "address.city",
    "address.province",
    "address.postalCode"),
  (
    "Details",
    "organization",
    "role",
    "loginCredential.password",
    "loginCredential.isActive",
    "loginCredential.role"
  )
)
