Account

Manage your personal access to the Polyteia Platform.

Your account is your personal access to the Polyteia Platform. It stores your email address, password, and security settings. Based on this account, you can have one or multiple profiles in different organizations.

Think of it this way:

• Account = Your key to the platform

• Profile = Your presence within an organization

Account and profile comparison

Number	One account per person	One profile per organization

Example: If you are part of the organizations of City Numberville and County Datacity, you have one account (email address and login) but two profiles – one for each organization.

Account settings

You manage your account under Settings → Personal → Account.

Login settings

• Email address – Change the email address used for login

• Password – Set or update password

Authenticator app

• TOTP – Additional security with a two-factor app like Authy or Microsoft Authenticator

Account actions

• Sign out – Sign out from your current session

If you delete your account, you will lose access to all data. This step cannot be undone.
