User Preferences

Every user has an associated User Preferences page that describes the way the system environment (the user interface) looks and operates for that user.

The page contains three main panes:

User Profile

The upper pane on the page displays the user profile information, such as the user's avatar, full name, and the role the user has in the current hub. You can edit this information as well as change the user's password that is used to log in to the current hub.

  2. In the Reset Password for user dialog, type in a new password in the PASSWORD and RETYPE PASSWORD fields.

  3. Click OK.
