# Your account

> Change your photo, name and password, tell Beacon how to address you, sign out of every device, or leave an Organisation.

**Settings > Account** is where you manage yourself rather than your Organisation: how colleagues see you, what Beacon calls you, how you sign in, and whether you stay in the Organisation.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Everyone with a Platform seat can change their own account.

![Account settings for your name, job title and instructions for Beacon.](https://mintcdn.com/saphion/F5a0XE-YKidXHEWP/images/account-1.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=F5a0XE-YKidXHEWP\&q=85\&s=c6048adb3a9c3e9e6aa21e1b1f7f2238)

Your Beacon preferences

## Open your account settings

**1. Open the account menu**

Choose your name at the foot of the sidebar.

**2. Choose Account settings**

Settings opens over the page you are on. **View profile** opens the same section. You can also choose **Settings** in the sidebar and then **Account** under Preferences. See [Finding your way around](https://docs.saphion.co.uk/finding-your-way-around.md#use-the-settings-window).

## Change your profile photo

Hover over your photo in **Profile photo**. Choose it to pick a file. If you already have a photo, you are offered **Upload** and **Remove**.

The photo can be a PNG, JPEG or WebP file of up to 5 MB. Until you add one, Saphion shows your initials on a colour of its own choosing. Every place that shows your face changes at once.

## Change your name

**1. Choose Edit beside Full name**

The row also shows your sign-in email address and mobile number.

**2. Change your names**

The **Edit profile** window has **First name**, **Last name** and **Mobile**. It also shows your **Email**, which is your sign-in address and cannot be changed here, and your **Access**, which your Organisation's Admins set.

**3. Choose Save**

Your name is how people in your Organisation see you.

## Tell Beacon about you

Three rows below your name belong to Beacon. Each saves when you leave the box, and shows the earlier value again if Saphion cannot save the change.

| Row | What it does |
| - | - |
| **What should Beacon call you?** | The name Beacon uses for you. Up to 80 characters. |
| **Job title** | What you do. Up to 120 characters. If you leave it empty, Saphion fills it from your Microsoft profile when you sign in. |
| **Instructions for Beacon** | Standing direction Beacon keeps in mind across all your chats, such as "keep explanations brief and to the point". It works beneath your Organisation's instructions and any Project's. |

> [!NOTE]
>
> If your instructions run over the allowance, the box says so and they are not saved until you shorten them. See [Instructions](https://docs.saphion.co.uk/admin/instructions.md) for how personal, Project and Organisation instructions combine.

## Change your password

Choose **Change password**. Saphion emails a code to your sign-in address, you enter it, choose a new password and are signed in with it. This is the same journey as a forgotten password. See [Sign in](https://docs.saphion.co.uk/sign-in.md#if-you-forget-your-password).

## Sign out of all devices

Choose **Sign out of all devices** to end every session you hold, including phones and other browsers, and then sign out of the browser you are using. Use it if you have lost a device or signed in on a computer that is not yours.

If your other devices are signed out but this browser cannot sign out, the row says so. Choose **Sign out** in the account menu.

## Leave an Organisation

> [!WARNING]
>
> Leaving ends your access straight away. What you hold goes to someone else and you cannot undo it. To return, an Admin has to invite you again.

**1. Choose Leave Organisation**

The row is named after your Organisation, for example "Leave Saphion Limited", and sits in its own section at the foot of the account settings.

**2. Read what is handed over**

**Leave this Organisation?** lists what you hold: open Actions, teams you own, Projects you lead, boards and dashboards of your own and Permission holdings. All of it goes to an owner of your team, who is told.

**3. Confirm**

Choose **Hand over and leave**, or **Leave** if you hold nothing. Saphion then opens the app for whichever Organisation you still belong to.

If you are the Organisation's only Admin, Saphion will not let you leave until another person is an Admin. Ask an Admin to remove someone else. That is a different act, called deactivating, and it is covered in [Invite and manage people](https://docs.saphion.co.uk/admin/members-and-roles.md).

## Copy your Organisation ID

**Organisation ID** shows the identifier of the Organisation you are working in. Choose **Copy** when Support or an assistant asks for it. It is not secret, and it is not a password.

## How it works

* **Only you change your own details.** An Admin can deactivate a person, but nobody else can edit your name or password.

## FAQ

> **Why can't I change my email address?**
>
> Your email address is your sign-in identity, so **Edit profile** shows it but does not change it. Ask your Admin to invite the new address.

> **Who sees my profile photo and name?**
>
> People in the Organisation you are working in. Your name is how colleagues see you, and your photo replaces your initials wherever your face is shown.

> **Does Sign out of all devices affect other people?**
>
> No. It ends only your own sessions.

> **Will I lose my work if I leave?**
>
> No. What you hold is handed to an owner of your team, and your name stays on the work you did. See [Bin and restore](https://docs.saphion.co.uk/admin/bin-and-restore.md) for what happens when work is deleted instead.
