User manual

My profile/User profile


  1. Introduction

    The user profile page is a centralized location where users can view and manage their personal details and account settings. User actions on this page are determined by their system role and associated permissions.

    A user can access their profile by clicking on the User menu in the top-right corner of the application and selecting the My profile option.

      1. Information

        1. Account information

          This section contains information related to the user's profile.

          1. User ID - Automatically generated upon user profile creation and cannot be edited.

          2. Username - The username field is case-sensitive and must be unique.

          3. Email address where the user will receive notifications.

          4. Current workspace - You can filter and display data exclusively from the selected workspace if assigned to multiple workspaces. When you switch workspace, the system customizes the display to show only the entities (users, tests, user groups, training courses, question categories, question pools) associated with the chosen workspace. If a workspace's theme, logo, and favicon are customized, the system branding will be overridden when the current workspace is selected. To view all available data, choose the All workspaces option.

          5. Time zone in which the data containing the date and time will be displayed.

          6. Switch the interface theme if multiple options are available. The change will be applied exclusively to your user profile..

          7. Language in app - Determines the application interface's language (excluding user-generated content, such as question text, test descriptions, etc.). If a language preference is set for a specific test, it overrides the application interface language for a user account.

          8. Language in tests - The default language for displaying questions and answers in tests, if defined during the question creation.

          9. External ID - a unique identifier that serves as a distinctive label for the user in the system. This identifier can then be employed when integrating with other external systems.

          10. Profile picture - Supported file types are JPG, JPEG, PNG, BMP, and the maximum size is 100MB.

          11. Link to access assignments quickly.

        2. Personal information

          This section displays users' personal information, including any custom user properties that have been created.

        3. Password settings

          This section is used to change the user profile password and its expiration time.
          To change the password:

          1. Click the Change password button.

          2. Choose the creation method:

            • Manually - Input and confirm the entered password.

            • Generated - The system will generate a password and send it to the user via email.

          3. Set the Expiration date after which the password must be renewed.

          4. Click the Save button.

        4. Two-factor authentication (2FA)

          Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a security method that enhances account protection by requiring users to confirm their identity through two different authentication factors. This extra layer of protection, beyond usernames and passwords, blocks unauthorized access. For example, even with a compromised password, a second factor, like a phone-sent code, is required for a successful login.

          To enable the 2FA, click the Activate two-factor authentication button.

          You can customize your 2FA settings:

          1. The Hash algorithm for one-time verification codes - Choose SHA-256, SHA-3, or MD5 based on your security preference.

          2. Validity period - Set how long each verification code remains valid.

          3. Verification code length - Adjust this value to align with your security preferences. A longer code increases complexity, making it more resilient against malicious attempts to decipher it.

          4. Note: The QR code changes after modifying any setting, and these settings must be the same on the authenticator app.

          Configure the authenticator app by scanning the QR code or manually entering the secret.

          After attempting to log in, the app will request the verification code sent to the user's device.

          Users can activate/deactivate 2FA for their accounts, while admin accounts can only disable it. This is useful if a user loses the device on which they receive the verification code.

          For more information on configuring 2FA, refer to this article. Additionally, for instructions on how to require 2FA activation at the role level, consult this article.

            2. Scan the QR code using the installed authenticator app.

            3. Enter the verification code from the authenticator app.

            4. Click the Verify and activate button.
