User-related settings

In the dashboard of the data pool, basic settings can be made for the user profile and the security standards. To open personal settings, click on the avatar with your abbreviation in the top right corner of the header.

In addition to the contact details and photo for the user profile, the security settings can also be changed. The currently stored forwarding e-mail address can only be queried in the settings, a change of the e-mail forwarding is only possible through the helpdesk.

In the "Security" section, the current password can be changed and the settings for two-factor authentication can be made. When activating two-factor authentication, a 6-digit numerical code is also sent when logging in with username and password, which must be entered within 6 minutes. Without this changing numerical code, access to the data pool is not possible, which significantly increases the security of the system.

When activating twofactor authentication, you can specify whether the numerical code should be delivered via a Google or Microsoft Authenticator app, by SMS or by e-mail. The use of an e-mail address is only recommended for a company account with a project mail-box to which several people have access. The two-factor authentication settings can be changed again at a later time.
