User Name – User Menu

The name of the logged-in user is displayed in the navigation menu bar and contains a link to the Preferences page specific to you where you can view or edit user preferences.

There is also a Logout option allowing you to log out of IdentityIQ.

Edit Preferences

Preferences includes settings that personalize how you use IdentityIQ. Depending on your level of access you may have options to:

  • Set up a user to whom all work items assigned to you are to be forwarded.

  • If a forwarding user is used, edit the start and end dates for all forwarded work items.

  • Change the password you use to log in to IdentityIQ.

  • Select security questions and provide answers.

  • Specify your name and the email address to use for notifications.

Note: Only system administrators can change the name and email information from this location.

The ability to edit some of the preferences on this page is determined during configuration. Consult your administrator if you have questions.

On the Edit Preferences > General tab, you may designate a Forwarding User who will receive all work items, as well as the associated reminders and notifications, that are assigned to you for the time period you determine.

  1. Use the dropdown arrow or begin typing to locate and select the appropriate user.

  2. Select the Start Date checkbox, then use the date picker to indicate the date to start forwarding items.

  3. If you want forwarding to end at some point, select the End Date checkbox and use the date picker to indicate when forwarding should stop. Note that specifying a forwarding user without an end date will permanently enable the forwarding process as of the start date.

Use the form on the Edit Preferences > Password tab to change your IdentityIQ password. See Self-Service Password Reset.

  1. Enter your current password.

  2. Enter your desired new password.

  3. Re-enter the new password to confirm.

If your System Administrator has set up the system to require security questions as part of a password reset, you will have a Preferences menu option for Security Questions. They may be configured by System Administrators in gear > Global Settings > Login Configuration > User Reset tab > Questions.

System Administrators, see Configuring the Security Question Settings.  

End users, see Security Questions Tab.
