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.

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

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.
