Managing your account

From the logged in homepage view you have access to two pages related to your account: Profile and Settings.

The profile page contains information that is visible to other people on Flow, namely your profile image, when you joined, any groups you are a part of and any Projects, Samples or Data the user viewing the page has permissions to see.

From the settings page you can change your username, name, email and password. You can also upload a small profile photo (less than 2MB) of yourself to help people recognise you on Flow.

The Groups tab allows you to see which groups you are a part of and allows you to create a new Group. Groups are a way of settings the permissions for a group of people, for example a lab, in one go. Data shared with a group will then be accessible to anyone within that group, preventing you from having to give many people permissions to your datasets individually.

Finding other people's accounts

You might want to find other people on Flow. For example, when completing metadata for a sample you might want to search for your collaborators username. From any page within flow you can use the search bar in the top right hand corner to find other User's profiles.
