User profile

The user profile comes in two shapes: a self view of your own account and an admin view of any person in the tenant. Both share their layout and navigation, but differ in what they show.

Your own profile with the info tab, profile editing and your devices.

#Your own profile page

The self view is your personal starting point. The header shows your avatar, a greeting, your email address, your role badge and the tenant you are currently working in. Three tabs sit below it.

TabContent
InfoName, email, role, last sign-in, member since, tenant info
Edit profileMaintain first name, last name, display name and profile picture yourself
My devicesEvery asset assigned to you, clickable

Alongside them are shortcuts to settings, to My Workplace and to the form for raising a Raise a request.

#Maintaining your own profile

The Edit profile tab lets you change your identity fields without raising a ticket with administration.

FieldNotes
First nameUp to 100 characters, synced with your HGE ID
Last nameUp to 100 characters, synced with your HGE ID
Display nameUp to 255 characters; appears in the sidebar, tickets and audit log
Profile pictureJPEG, PNG or WebP, 5 MB maximum; counts against the tenant's storage
EmailRead-only for now — changing it requires re-verification

#What happens when you save

  1. Your change goes to HGE ID first. If it is briefly unreachable nothing is saved and you get an error
  2. On success your profile updates in every tenant you belong to — HGE ID is the leading source for your identity
  3. The audit entry is written in the active tenant only, so the timeline does not run twice
  4. On your next sign-in all tenant profiles are reconciled automatically anyway

#Profile pictures

Profile pictures are handled deliberately differently from name and email: they stay in the app and are not passed to HGE ID, because a portrait is personal data and should not be spread across systems without need.

  • Each tenant has its own picture; switching tenant picks up the one stored there
  • If there is none, the picture from your HGE ID is used, otherwise your initials in Uslimato green
  • Uploads count against the tenant's storage — if it is full, the upload is rejected

#Limits and safeguards

  • At most 10 profile changes per hour, after which the app shows a wait time
  • Input is validated: control characters are rejected, whitespace trimmed, an empty field clears the value
  • Every successful change is written to the audit log; the path to the profile picture is deliberately not logged, for privacy reasons

#The admin view

Anyone holding the users:manage permission sees up to five tabs on a user's page.

TabContentVisible to
InfoIdentity, role, last sign-inEveryone

PermissionsGroups and the rights derived from themEveryone
MetricsActivity overviewAdministration
AuditThat person's 50 most recent audit entriesAdministration

Without the permission the last two tabs do not appear at all — and calling them directly is refused server-side, not merely hidden.

#Metrics

The tab sums up how active someone is: assigned assets, movements started, tickets raised, assigned and closed, plus first and last sign-in. Without an ITSM licence the ticket figures read 0.

#Audit

The 50 most recent entries where this person is recorded as the actor — with timestamp, action, the object concerned and, where captured, the IP address. The full history lives in the Audit log.

Note
All profile data is isolated per tenant. Even with administration rights you only ever see people from your own tenant.
