User preferences panel

The user preference panel is an upper horizontal panel that opens when clicking the user name or the picture of the user (or the people icon if no picture is present) located on the toolbar.

This panel gives access to:

  • Connection information (the connection user name, the location, the current role, the current connection language, and the endpoint) with the ability to change this information.
  • Links to some pages (depends on your privileges).

Take care that the role, the language and the endpoint are part of the session information. They are shared between all the tabs of a browser opened from a given device by a given user on a given web server. For instance, changing the role on a tab will change it on all the other tabs: as soon as you will refresh another tab, the new role will apply.

The only way to have two sessions opened for a given OS user from a given device on a given web server with different combinations of endpoints, users, roles is to open two different browsers (chrome, firefox, IE, Opera...).

The following diagram provides the link location on the panel:
