Profile SettingsCopy Anchor Link

Open Settings (gears icon in the sidebar footer) to edit the details other people see:

• Display Name: Your name shown to other team members on shift reports and chat rooms.
• Phone Number: Used for push notification alerts about your shifts.
• Avatar Image: Your profile picture.
• Email: Read-only here, because your email belongs to your sign-in rather than to this page. To change it, use Sign-in & Security below.
• Role: Your permissions level (admin, manager, or member) is set by your administrator and is not editable by you.

Sign-in & SecurityCopy Anchor Link

Your email address, password, two-factor authentication, passkeys, and the devices currently signed in are all managed on a separate page, because they belong to your sign-in rather than to your Danvas profile.

1. Open Settings.
2. Under Sign-in & Security, click Manage sign-in.
3. Change your email or password, add or remove two-factor authentication, and review or sign out other devices.

Only the methods your organization has enabled appear on that page.
