# User Profile Preferences

Users can view information about themselves (some they can edit, some they can't) through their My Elentra ME Profile.

* Click on the user icon in the top right.
* Click 'My Profile'.
* When making any changes to their profile, users must click 'Save Profile' when complete.

## Personal Information Tab

Users will see their personal information first when they access their profile. By default they can't change their primary e-mail, but they can update their other contact information like phone, address, and office hours.

### Office Hours

If a faculty user provides office hours information, it most typically displays in People Search results and and under the Course Director information on a course website (assuming the user is a course director).

### Photo

User photos appear through out Elentra.  Some examples include in People Search and when triggering or completing Assessment and Evaluation forms.

This tab will display if there is [user metadata](https://docs.elentra.org/learn-elentra-me/user-management/user-metadata) in place and at least one metadata category is set to 'Public Visible' so that the user can see it. This tab allows users to see information about them added to the system by an administrative user. (Currently users can't provide this information about themselves through the user interface.)

## Department Specific Information Tab <a href="#how-to-provide-admin-assistants-access-to-faculty-accounts" id="how-to-provide-admin-assistants-access-to-faculty-accounts"></a>

This tab will appear if an organization has departments configured, the departments have added [Department Profile Fields](https://docs.elentra.org/learn-elentra-me/systemsetup/departments#custom-profile-fields), and a specific user is associated with the department (via their user profile)

* If a Department Profile Field is in use, users who are assigned to that department will see a spot to input information about themselves on their profile on the Department Specific Information tab (this information can also be input on the user's profile by an administrative user with access to Manage Users).

## How to provide admin assistants access to faculty accounts <a href="#how-to-provide-admin-assistants-access-to-faculty-accounts" id="how-to-provide-admin-assistants-access-to-faculty-accounts"></a>

This tool is available to most users, except Faculty:Faculty who have read-only access. Note that it this tool is not just the storage of administrative assistant information; for example, it allows an administrator to act in the system under the identity of the faculty member. As a result, this feature should be used carefully.

* Click the username badge to open the user profile.
* Click 'My Admin Assistants'.
* Type in the name of another user, and click on it.
* Set access start and finish dates and times to limit when the admin. will be able to be masked as the faculty member. By default it will set access to for one week.
* Click 'Add Assistant'.
* To remove an admin. assistant click the checkbox beside their name and click 'Remove Assistant'.

In this example a faculty member has granted three admin assistants access for different lengths of time.

If faculty link their account with admin. assistants, the admin assistants will see a Permission Masks card on their sidebar and can select to use another id at any time during the active linkage.
