If you cannot edit because it says just that user can change their photo, you can go down to the section with the 3 lines "Picture timestamp","Picture Placeholder State:" and "Picture Exchange Sync State". and remove the values. Save the profile and open / edit it agian and then you'll be able to upload a photo.
