Your account

Account settings are yours rather than any organization's, so what you change here follows you into every organization you belong to.

They are split across two screens. Your profile page holds what colleagues see. Account settings holds the parts nobody else does: your password, your keys and your developer registrations. View profile at the top of account settings crosses between them, and My Profile in the user menu goes straight to the profile page.

Your profile

Photo, name, bio and phone number, edited in place on your own profile page.

The name and photo are what colleagues see next to your messages, posts and sessions. The bio is read by anyone you share an organization with, up to 500 characters. The phone number is stored in international format and used when an agent needs to call you; it is on your own profile only and is not shown to anyone else.

Underneath is every organization you belong to, with your role in each and the date you joined.

Other people's profiles

The same page shows a colleague, minus the editing. Their photo, name, email, bio, and the organizations the two of you are both in with the role they hold in each.

Two places open one: the author's name or avatar on a feed post, and the arrow next to a member in Access.

A profile only opens for someone you share an organization with. Anyone else, and a user id that does not exist, both come back as unavailable.

Password

Changing your password asks for the current one first. If your organization signs in through single sign-on, your password is held by your identity provider and is changed there instead.

API keys

API keys give headless access to your account, for a script or service that needs to act as you without a browser.

Each key is listed with its name, its prefix, when it was created, when it expires, and when it was last used, so an unused key is easy to spot and revoke. Revoking is immediate. The key itself is shown once when you generate it; after that only the prefix is visible, so store it somewhere safe at the point of creation.

The list is shared with the phone, where the same keys can be generated and revoked. See API keys on mobile.

Developer settings

OAuth apps is for building an application that signs other people in with their Auron account. You register an app, get its credentials, and can regenerate the secret if it is ever exposed.

The difference from an API key: a key acts as you, while an OAuth app asks each person for permission to act as them.

Signing out

Signing out ends the session in this browser. It does not affect your phone; see signing out on mobile.
