# Profile

> Update your name, see your avatar source, and understand what changes when you edit your account.

Your profile is the account-level identity that follows you across every TalkValue workspace you belong to. Workspace data is scoped per workspace, but your name, email, and avatar are shared.

## Where it lives

**Settings → Account** is the landing page when you open Settings. The **Profile Details** card shows your avatar, editable **First Name** and **Last Name**, a read-only **Email**, and a **Role** badge for the currently active workspace. The **Sign Out** card sits below.

## Edit your name

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Settings → Account">
    Click the workspace chip in the top-left header, then **Settings**, then **Account**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Update First Name and Last Name">
    Edit either or both fields. Leading and trailing whitespace is trimmed when you save.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Update Profile">
    The save runs in the background. A toast confirms **"Profile updated"** when it completes.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Name changes propagate to:

* The avatar fallback initials (when no profile picture is set).
* The sidebar greeting and the workspace member list.
* Every workspace you belong to. Your name is shared across all of them.

## Avatar

The avatar shown in the header and across TalkValue comes from your identity provider:

* **Google sign-in.** TalkValue uses your Google profile picture.
* **Magic link sign-in.** TalkValue shows your initials in the brand color until a profile picture is set on the account.

You set your avatar through your identity provider (Google or your account picture), not on the TalkValue Settings page. If your Google profile picture has changed and you don't see the update in TalkValue, sign out and back in to refresh the session.

## Email

Your account email is the address you sign in with. It's read-only on the profile page, with this description below it:

> *To change your account email, an admin must send an invitation to the new email address.*

Migration path: an Admin invites your new email from **Settings → Members** ([Invite teammates](/get-started/workspace/invite-teammates)), you accept on the new inbox, then the Admin removes the old account. Workspace data stays; only the membership identity changes.

## Role

The role badge under the profile form reflects your role in the **currently active workspace**, Admin or Member. It changes if you switch workspaces (some teams may make you an Admin, others a Member).

To request a role change, ask any workspace Admin to update your role on **Settings → Members**. See [Roles and permissions](/administration/workspace/roles-and-permissions) for the full capability matrix.
