Account
Profile photo, display name, email address, role and group memberships of the signed-in user.
Open Settings → Account: select the avatar in the top-right corner and choose Account settings.
Profile photo
Select the avatar or Upload photo and choose an image. Persate accepts JPG, PNG and WebP files up to 2 MB. The photo is shown on the user's avatar across the platform, for example in comments and member lists, so use an image approved for professional use.
When a custom photo is set, Remove custom photo removes it and restores the default avatar.
Display name
Enter the name Persate should show to other members and select Save; the button becomes active once the name has changed. The display name appears in comments and user lists. If the field is left blank, Persate uses the name from the sign-in provider or the email address.
- Select Change email. The Set a new email dialog opens.
- Enter the Current password, the New email and, in Repeat new email, the same address again.
- Select Set new email. Persate sends a confirmation link to both the old and the new address.
The address changes only after the confirmation is completed. For accounts that sign in with a Google or Microsoft account, the sign-in details are managed by that provider.
Role and groups
Role shows the account's permission level in the organization, for example Administrator or Member. It is read-only on this page.
Groups shows how many groups the user belongs to and lists each group with the user's role in it. Groups control which shared documents, analyses and channels the user can see; labs are also assigned to groups. When the user belongs to no group, the row says so — content shared only with groups is then not available. If the list cannot be loaded, Try again reloads it.
Only an organization administrator can change a role or group membership — see Users and groups.
Troubleshooting
- Photo rejected — check the file format and the 2 MB limit.
- Save is inactive — the display name has not changed.
- No confirmation email — check both the old and the new inbox, including spam folders.
- Wrong role or group — contact the organization's administrator; the Account page cannot change them.
