ITAM Settings - Personal

Summary

ITAM has a variety of settings at the individual account level you can customize as a privileged user.

Body

If you click your user name in the upper right of the Header Bar, you will find a couple account options. There is also the Log Out button and a choice for view mode (light/dark).

Edit Account

The options presented on this page will depend on the privileges of your Role.

You can change your Email address, which will find an associated Gravatar icon for the Account menu. This is purely cosmetic.
If you are logged in by https, you will be able to change your Password, assuming this is an internal account with sufficient rights (passwords from external authentication sources like AD can not be changed through our software).

You can choose the default Form views used for each of the major list pages (Computers, Devices, Purchases). See ITAM Forms for more details.

Notes can be used to store anything you like. If you are using a shared account you will see the relevant note on that account (e.g. Manager).

Show Basic User Interface will cause the Side Bar to not show expanding menu items, such as various Dashboards when that header item is chosen and the report builder items. Note that having full admin rights overrides this having an effect.

The Get Access Token button is used for external authentication methods that can use a token instead of username/password pairs. This can be useful for service account access like API calls.

The Login QR Code is for use with our Mobile App. If you don't see this button you may lack proper permissions or your server needs to be updated.

Navigation Menu Customization

While in this Edit mode, the left side navigation items have checkboxes next to them. This allows custom toggling of those navigation items for your account. Note that Policies and Users are disabled by default. If you don't see those options you are not on a recent enough version. If you were an admin of a site that did not use Maps, you could hide that navigation item for yourself if desired, despite holding the Privilege to access it.

View Assets

This page is sort of a very focused version of the User Assets Extra that only shows you the hardware and software assets that you are specifically assigned as the Owner.  This can be useful in an organization where you make full use of Owner assignment, and allow all users to log in using external authentication where their account name matches the Owner assignment being used.  This can be nuanced to get working exactly right at scale, so we invite you to contact Support with any questions you have.
