Profile

Your Profile page is the central place to manage your personal information, upload a profile logo, and create service account tokens for programmatic API access. You can reach it at any time by clicking your username or avatar in the top-right corner of the navigation bar and selecting Profile.


What you can edit

The profile form lets you update the following fields:

FieldNotes
First nameShown in the user menu and header
Last nameCombined with first name in display contexts
EmailUsed for notifications and password recovery
Phone numberOptional; used for org-level contact info
Job titleOptional; visible to org administrators
Organization affiliationOptional; your employer or affiliated entity
Street, City, State, ZIPOptional address fields

Email changes take effect immediately. If your organization uses email for MFA recovery, update this field carefully.


How to update your profile

  1. Open the user menu

    Click your username or avatar in the top-right corner of any page. A dropdown menu appears.

  2. Click Profile

    Select Profile from the dropdown. You are taken to /profile.

  3. Edit your information

    Update any fields you want to change. All fields except email are optional — clear a field to remove a previously saved value.

  4. Click Save Changes

    Scroll to the bottom of the form and click Save Changes. A success message confirms the update.

If you need to change your password, use the dedicated Change Password form at /change-password. Changing your password from the Profile page is no longer supported — the profile form handles personal info only.


A profile logo (avatar) is displayed in the navigation bar user menu and in certain org-facing views where your identity is shown alongside documents you own or edited.

Supported formats: JPG and PNG. Recommended size: at least 128 × 128 pixels.

  1. Click your current avatar

    On the Profile page, click the circular avatar or placeholder image at the top of the form.

  2. Choose a file

    Your system file picker opens. Select a JPG or PNG image from your computer.

  3. Preview and save

    A preview of the new image appears. Click Save Changes at the bottom of the form to upload and apply the logo.

The new logo appears immediately in the top navigation bar after saving.


Service account tokens

Service account tokens let scripts, CI/CD pipelines, and external tools authenticate to the OSCAL Hub API without using your personal login credentials. They are managed from the Service Account Tokens section at the bottom of the Profile page.

For full instructions on creating and using service account tokens — including API usage examples and security best practices — see Service Account Tokens.


Tips and limits

  • Email uniqueness: Each email address can only be associated with one OSCAL Hub account. If you receive an error when updating your email, it is likely already in use by another account.
  • Logo file size: Keep logo files under 2 MB to ensure fast uploads.
  • Display name: OSCAL Hub displays your first and last name together wherever your identity appears. Fill in both fields for the best experience.
  • Organization affiliation on your profile is distinct from the org you belong to in OSCAL Hub. The profile field is free-text metadata; actual org membership is managed through invitations and access requests.
