## 5.5. Setting Your User Profile

Your user profile includes personal information such as your name and email address. You can also select an image to display in place of the user icon on the title bar to personalize the look of EKM.

To edit your user profile:

1. Click the user drop box in the top right corner of the EKM window and select Settings.

2. In the Settings dialog box, select the Profile tab.

3. Edit your personal information such as name, title, phone, and email address. You cannot edit your User name, Group, or Access level assignments. The latter two settings can only be changed by a member of the `admin` group. For information about groups, see Introduction to Users and Groups in the Administration Guide. For information about access levels, see Licensing and Access in the Installation Guide.

4. To display a personal image on the title bar in place of the generic user icon, click Change, then select an image file in the File Upload dialog box.

5. If EKM has been configured to allow password changes, a Change password check box will appear beneath the Profile Photo setting. Checking the Change password box enables you to change your password if necessary. Simply enter your old password in the Old password edit box, then enter the new password in the New password and Confirm password edit boxes.

   For details about how this option is enabled, refer to Configuring a Password Change Script (<passwordChangeScript>) in the Administration Guide.

6. Click OK to update your profile.

Note: If EKM is configured to retrieve a user's User name, First name, Last name and/or Email from LDAP, these fields will be non-editable in the Settings dialog box. For more information, contact your EKM Administrator.
