# How to update profile settings

> Contact details and personal preferences available through Risk Portal My Profile, with separate phone verification and account restrictions on changes to identity fields managed by an external provider

Applies to **Settings** → **My Profile** with **Login and Contact Details** and **Site Options**.

Each editable field has its own controls.
**Username** and **Email** remain read-only on this screen.
Provider-managed identity details can require changes through the organization's identity provider.

## Which profile fields can be changed?

| Field | Available action |
| - | - |
| **Username** and **Email** | Read-only on this screen. |
| **First Name** and **Last Name** | Update using the adjacent **Edit** control. |
| **Phone-number** | Update the number, then complete separate phone verification. |
| **Time Zone** | Select a named time zone from the available list. |
| **Default Reporting Currency** | Select the preferred fallback currency for supported report setup. |

## How to update a name

1. Open **Settings** → **My Profile**.
2. Select **Edit** beside **First Name** or **Last Name**.
3. Enter the corresponding **New First Name** or **New Last Name**.
4. Select **Save**.

Verify that the updated value appears in the profile after the dialog closes.
Check any displayed error if the original value remains.
This screen does not change **Username** or **Email**.

## How to update a phone number

Access to the destination phone is required for the confirmation code.

1. Open **Settings** → **My Profile**.
2. Select **Edit** beside **Phone-number**.
3. Enter the international number, beginning with `+`, in **New Phone Number**.
4. Select **Save**.

Verify that the updated number appears and phone verification is requested.
Saving the number does not complete verification.

5. Enter the received confirmation code in **Code**.
6. Select **Confirm**.

Verify the **Successfully confirmed phone-number** message and the absence of **Unverified** beside the number.
If no code arrives, contact the configured support contact.
The **Verify** button is not a documented code-resend action.
Phone verification does not enable text-message authentication.

## How to select a time zone

1. Open **Settings** → **My Profile**.
2. Select **Edit** beside **Time Zone**.
3. Select the required **New Time Zone**.
4. Select **Save**.
5. Reopen **My Profile**.

Verify that **Time Zone** retains the intended selection.
The setting identifies a named time zone, rather than a fixed UTC offset.
Some report displays use this preference; other screens can use browser time.
Check the date and time labels on the relevant report or schedule.

## How to select a reporting currency

1. Open **Settings** → **My Profile**.
2. Select **Edit** beside **Default Reporting Currency**.
3. Select **New Reporting Currency**.
4. Select **Save**.
5. Reopen **My Profile**.

Verify the displayed **Default Reporting Currency**.
Supported report dialogs can use this value when no previous currency selection is remembered.
A remembered launcher currency can take precedence.
Always check **Currency** during report setup.
Changing this preference does not recalculate an existing report.

## How to change the appearance

1. Open **Settings** → **My Profile**.
2. Locate **Themes** under **Site Options**.
3. Set **Dark Mode** to the required appearance.
4. Select a **Colour Scheme** button if a different scheme is required.

Verify the changed appearance after each selection.
These controls apply immediately without a separate **Save** action.
Do not assume the preference synchronizes across browsers or devices.
