Profile settings belong to the signed-in user. Every account role can update its own name, email, and password. Only eligible account owners can change organisation fields.

## Personal settings

| Setting | Who can change it | Important effect |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Name | Every signed-in user | Updates the name associated with the user. |
| Email | Every signed-in user | Requires a code sent to the new address and the current password. |
| Password | Every signed-in user | Requires the current password and revokes other sessions. |
| Role | Nobody from this page | Read-only; an account owner changes roles in team management. |

## Owner settings

Account owners normally see organisation name and URL slug controls. These values belong to the account, not the user.

Partner-managed accounts replace those controls with guidance to contact the partner.

Changing the URL slug changes shared URLs and does not create redirects from the former slug. See [How to change your account URL slug](/docs/profile/change-your-account-url-slug).

## Email verification

Changing the email starts a two-part verification:

1. A verification code confirms access to the new inbox.
2. The current password confirms the signed-in user's identity.

The new email is not applied until both checks succeed, and until then the old email still signs in. The current browser receives a new session. Other sessions must sign in again with the new email.

## Password changes

The password form requires at least eight characters with lowercase, uppercase, numeric, and special characters.

If the current password is unknown, use [mangomap.com/forgot-password](https://mangomap.com/forgot-password) instead.
