Welcome to Account
EssentialEvery signed-in user
The Account module is your personal self-service surface — your profile, your security factors, your preferences, your notification settings, your privacy controls, your own audit feed, your personal API tokens. Everything here is scoped to you: changes apply only to your own account, not to the workspace, not to anyone else.
TL;DR — Open Account from the top-right avatar. Seven tabs cover the full surface. Most settings persist the moment you change them — there's no separate save step on most pages.
What the module covers
| Field | What it does | Accepted values / default |
|---|---|---|
| Profile | Your display name, timezone, locale, avatar. | Covered in Your profile. |
| Security | Password, MFA devices, passkeys, recovery codes, active sessions. | Covered in Account security. |
| Preferences | Theme, locale, density, reduced motion. | Covered in Preferences. |
| Notifications | Per-channel × per-category notification matrix. | Covered in Notifications. |
| Privacy | Self-ID controls, data-export request, account-erasure request. | Covered in Privacy. |
| Audit | Your own audit feed — every action recorded against your account. | Covered in Your account audit. |
| Personal access tokens | API tokens scoped to your identity for personal automation. | Covered in Personal access tokens. |
Why every employee should know this module
Two practical reasons + one principle.
- Speed — Changing your timezone after a move, switching to dark mode, muting a notification category that's noisy for your role — these take 10 seconds each and there's no reason to ask anyone.
- Security — Enrolling a passkey is the single biggest upgrade to your own account safety you can make. Sign-out-everywhere is the right reaction the moment you suspect a device compromise.
- Agency — Privacy controls (self-ID, data export, erasure request) are yours; HR cannot configure them on your behalf. The visibility of your own audit feed is yours too — if anything looks wrong, you'll see it before anyone else does.
Where to start
- New to the workspace? Open Your profile for the basics, then Account security to enroll a passkey.
- Annoyed by notifications? Notifications lets you mute by channel + category.
- Concerned about a sign-in you don't recognize? Your account audit + Account security for the session list.
- Building an integration? Personal access tokens.
What this module does not do
- It does not configure workspace-wide settings. Those live in Platform.
- It does not change anyone else's account. Manager-side approvals live in Manager approvals.
- It does not handle billing or plan changes. Those are at the tenant level, separate from per-user settings.
