You will not see it if you are not logged in as the vendor.

To set the vendor first find your Joomla User ID - see this is in Joomla User / User manager.
Then in VirtueMart go to Configuration / Shop and   "Enable database Update tools"
Then got to Tools / Tools & Migration and open the Migration tab.
Beside "Write here the new store owner id" -   enter your Joomla user ID and click on the "Set store owner" button.

Right I did that and the general user information tab is still missing.

Alternate way to set vendor is to open the database in phpMyAdmin and look at  table ###_virtuemart_vmusers   The user_is_vendor should be set to 1 for the shop owner and also set virtuemart_vendor_id to 1.
