Create or modify your user profile

Every KBase User has a user profile. Filling in your KBase user profile helps you become part of the social web that KBase is building, making it easier to find and collaborate with other scientists and share data and Narratives. You are not required to complete your user profile in order to use KBase, but we encourage everyone to do so.

To see and edit your user profile, go to the Menu sidebar on the left and click the “Account” button on the left side.

Your profile page will open, looking something like the screenshot below. You will be able to enter or change information including your organization, department, job title, research interests, avatar, and more. Required fields are marked with a red "*." You must fill in all required fields in order to save your profile (using the Save button on the upper right of the page).

Below the "Save" button is a small preview showing what your profile page looks like to others. You can click the “Open Your Profile Page” link to see a bigger version, along with a list of your Narratives and collaborators (other users with whom you have shared Narratives, or who have shared Narratives with you) and a search box for searching for other users by name or username. As you start typing in the box, you will see a list of users who have that text in their first or last name or their username. Click one of the matches to see that user’s profile.

The Account tab lets you see basic information about your KBase account. The only field that can be edited there is your preferred email address. Note that other users cannot see your email address; it will be used only by KBase staff to contact you occasionally with important information.

The User Profile editor allows you to edit your position, organization, and location. You can also input your Research Interests, Research or Personal Statement. It also shows which KBase Organizations you belong to and any Affiliations.

The tab lets you see and which external (Globus or Google or ) accounts are linked to your KBase account.
