Updating your profile

Updating your profile

In your IBM Cloud® profile, you can add a photo and personal information, manage notifications, and monitor your privacy. Setting it up helps your teammates know who you are and how you can help.

Your profile is connected to your log in ID, and it's shared across all IBM Cloud accounts that you can access.

Changing your profile photo

You can change your profile photo. In the IBM Cloud console, to the Avatar icon Avatar icon > Profile.

  • To add a photo or replace an existing photo, click Upload.
  • To remove your photo, click Delete picture.

The maximum file size for a profile picture is 100 KB. Use only PNG or JPG files.

Editing your information

If you log in with an IBMid, it is the single ID that you use to log in to your IBM Cloud account for infrastructure, services, and application features. You can't change your IBMid, but you can edit your associated profile information, such as your name, email, phone number, password, or company name. In the console, go to the Avatar icon Avatar icon > Profile. If you log in with a SoftLayer ID, you can also change your profile information from the Profile page.

If you log in with an ID from an external identity provider (IdP), then your information from your IdP is displayed. However, you can't update it on the Profile page. You must update your user information with your IdP.
