Account & settings (for hosts)

On this page

This page is about you, not the work: the personal settings that follow you around whichever workspace you’re in. They’re yours regardless of your role. Open Settings from the dashboard to find them. (The one exception is audit logs, a Changemaker-and-above feature - see below.)

The full reference is account & security.

Profile and password

Set your display name under your profile - it’s what colleagues see in member lists, invites and activity. Change your password from Account & security; if you’ve forgotten it, use the reset password flow on the sign-in screen to get an emailed link without needing the old one.

Two-factor authentication

Turn on 2FA from Account & security for a second step at sign-in. It’s the single biggest thing you can do to protect your account.

Tip

If your work involves personal or sensitive recordings, switch on 2FA before you start collecting. It protects the people who trusted you with their words as much as it protects you.

Appearance and language

Under Appearance, set the dashboard interface to one of eight languages (English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Ukrainian, Czech) and adjust font and text size for comfort. These are display preferences only - they don’t change your projects or who sees them. Transcription is multilingual whatever your interface language; see transcription.

My access

My access lists every organisation and workspace you belong to, and your role in each - the quickest way to answer “why can’t I see that project?”. Your role decides what you can do (see the capability matrix); if something’s missing, you may need an invite or to request access. Note that org and workspace membership are separate - you can be in an org with no workspaces, or in a single workspace with no org membership, and My access shows both.

Project defaults

You can set project defaults such as the legal basis used for new projects - set it once to save repeating yourself and keep projects consistent for compliance. See data ownership & compliance.

Audit logs

Audit logs record who did what, and when - useful for accountability on a sensitive engagement, or tracing a change nobody remembers making.

Important

Audit logs are Changemaker and above. On Free and Innovator they aren’t available. See tiers, billing & usage.

Deleting your account

You can close your account (the account itself, not just a workspace). First check what it means for any projects you own and for data ownership - hand over or move work others rely on before you do it.
