Your account
Your account is yours, whatever your role: your profile and who you share it with, your password, backup sign-in codes and the appearance you prefer. Open it from the account menu at the bottom of the sidebar.
Your profile
One profile for every studio you work with. It is locked with your password, and a studio sees it only if you share it.
- Fill in what you want studios to have: name, pronouns, phone, home base, usual role, department, emergency contact and phone, and dietary needs and allergies for catering.
- Under “Share with”, turn on each studio that should see it. A studio you do not share with sees only your name and email.
- Choose “Save profile”.
Sharing copies your details into that studio’s People entry for you, and every later save updates it. Turning sharing off stops future updates; what the studio already has stays until you ask them to remove it.
“Delete my profile” erases it from Pictures Up. Studios keep what you shared before.
If an admin resets your password, the profile can no longer be opened with the new one. Your account then offers “Start a new profile”, which starts again from your name.
Sign-in and appearance
Password. “Change password” asks for the current one and the new one, at least 10 characters. It signs you out everywhere else.
Backup sign-in codes. For when the emailed code cannot reach you. “Make backup codes” gives you 10 codes, shown once, with a file to download. Each works once, in place of the emailed code, and you get an email when one is used. Making new codes retires the old ones.
Trust this browser. The sign-in code step offers to trust the browser for 30 days, so it skips the emailed code next time. It is ticked by default.
Appearance. Dark is the default. Light is high contrast, for direct sun. “Match this device” follows the system. Only you see this, and the same choice is in the account menu.
Overview layout. How a production’s Overview opens for you: Slate, Poster or Frame line. See Productions. The switch on the Overview itself sets the same thing.
Good to know
- Your email is the one your invite or studio setup used. Changing it is not built yet.
- Your name comes from your profile once you have one.
- A profile shared with a studio fills their People entry, including the emergency and dietary fields that only admins, editors and you can see.
