Your Account Settings

Account settings let you update your personal details, change your password, review active sessions, control notifications and marketing email topics, and set approval delegations.

Where to Find It

Me > Account

Open the account menu from the top navigation, or go to Me > Account.

The account page has several sections in the sidebar:

Section	What you can do
Account	Update your name, photo, and other profile details; set your membership number; connect or disconnect your ema account.
Security	Change your password and review active sessions.
Organizations	See which organizations your account belongs to.
Notifications	Choose which channel (email, push, SMS, Slack) delivers each type of update.
Email Preferences	Opt in or out of marketing and announcement emails, by topic.
Accessibility	Turn on high-contrast mode.
Approval Delegations	Hand off your approval authority to someone else for a set period.

Account

From the Account section:

• Update profile — change your name (including title, middle name, and suffix), pronouns, photo, location, birthday, phone number, bio, job title, and company. See My Profile for the full field list.
• Membership number — record a membership ID from a professional association or society (for example, for CPD tracking). Status, type, and expiry are shown for reference but are set by your organization, not editable here.
• Connect your ema account — link your organization account to your unified ema ("hey ema") account so cross-platform features stay in sync. This card only appears if your organization has ema's unified sign-in enabled. Disconnecting doesn't delete your ema account — you can reconnect at any time.

Security

From the Security section:

• Change password — enter your current password and set a new one. This only applies if your account has a password set; if you always sign in with an emailed code, your organization's SSO, or your phone, there may be nothing to change here.
• Active sessions — see every device and browser where your account is currently signed in, and sign out of any session individually.

Sign out of sessions you don't recognize

If you see a session you don't recognize in the active sessions list, sign it out immediately and change your password if you have one set.

Organizations

Shows the organizations your account has access to, with a shortcut to switch into each one. If you expect to see an organization that's missing, contact an administrator.

Notifications

Choose how you're notified for each type of update, per channel. See Notification Preferences for the full list of channels and notification types.

Email Preferences

Manage which marketing and announcement emails you receive, grouped by organization-wide and per-event topics, with a single opt-out switch if you'd rather not receive any of them. This is separate from transactional emails (such as order confirmations or account notices), which can't be turned off here.

Accessibility

Turn on high-contrast mode (on, off, or match your system setting) for better readability.

Approval delegations

If you are an approver and will be unavailable, you can delegate your approval authority to another person for a set period:

1. Go to Approval Delegations.
2. Click to add a delegation.
3. Select the delegate and the date range.

During the delegation period, the delegate can act on approval requests assigned to you. Delegations are scoped to the period you set and expire automatically.

Connected Feature

See My Approvals for how to review and decide on approval requests.
