The user menu can be accessed by selecting your name in the top right corner as seen below.
Profile
A user can view all of the information about their account by selecting their profile. What is displayed is their permissions, teams, projects, and what type of user they are.
Through the user profile, you can access your permissions, the teams you are a part of, the projects you are a part of, and your certifications.
Permissions
Users can view the permissions that are granted to them. To see your permissions, click on the user menu and then select "My Profile." A modal will appear that displays all of your permissions. Users with the correct permissions may also alter their permissions here. Users can grant or deny entire bulks of permissions or grant or deny a single one from that topic as seen below.
Teams
Users can view the teams they are a part of in this tab. If they have the correct permissions, users can remove themselves from a team or add themselves to a team in this tab.
Projects
Users can view the projects they are a part of in this tab. If they have the correct permissions, users can remove themselves from a project, edit the project, or add themselves to a project in this tab.

Theme
Users can change the theme of the system. This action goes into effect immediately. Users can change the themes as many times as they would like.
Team's Resource Usage
Users can view all of the teams in which they are a part of's resource usage. If the user is not granted access to see their teams (view roles and permissions) then this modal will appear empty.
Suspend
A user may wish to suspend their account if they do not want to completely log out of the session, but would like to protect their account. Suspending the account requires the user to enter their private key password and navigates them back to session. Suspension is useful in the case that a user must walk away from their desk for a moment. The user has an hour of being suspended before they are logged out.

The self-explanatory feature to change the password that lets you in tiCrypt while working hand in hand with PKI.
Two additional functionalities close to the user profile are:
| Action | Notes |
|---|---|
| Tasks | By clicking the task icon, the user will see the task bar. This shows all pending and completed tasks during the session. Examples of tasks are file upload, file download, transfers to and from the VM. |
| Message Log | By clicking the task icon, the user will see their messaging activity. |
Purge key
Key purged from memory option allows users to manually reset the thirty-minute interval for their keys so they do not need to re-login for the next thirty minutes.
Log Out
A user can log out of the system - once they do this, their session expires.
Tasks
A user can view all of the pending tasks in the system such as file upload or connecting to a virtual machine in the tasks tab as seen below. When tasks begin, a notification on the bottom left also appears.
Notifications
Users can view their notifications by selecting the bell icon located to the left of their user name. What populates in this modal includes messages sent directly to the user or to groups in which the user is in. Notifcations also appear when files are shared. Users receive a notification when they themselves send out messages or share their own files. Notifications older than 3 months do not appear. A user can clear the notifications by selecting the "CLOSE ALL" button located at the top right of the modal. To exit the modal, the user must click anywhere outside of the modal.
