The User Details window has the following sections:

  • Details: your user account detailsDefault Settings: set your preferred options

Your export password is encrypted and is displayed as a line of dots. To update your password, enter a new password with at least 6 characters.

When you download an exported configuration, the zip file is encrypted and this password is associated with it. You must specify the same password when you import the file to another PhixFlow instance; see Using the Download Area.

Note

You cannot de-encrypt zip files to view their contents.



Tip

The Export Password options relate to exported configuration zip files. To ensure data security, PhixFlow can encrypt exported configuration zip files. PhixFlow saves the zip files to the download area and deletes them after a time; see Configuring the Download Area. 

User Groups

This tile lists the user groups and any external login groups to which you belong. These groups control the PhixFlow features and data to which you have access.

To change the user groups or external login groups to which you belong, contact your PhixFlow administrator.

Security Questions

This section is only available if you have a specific (local) login for PhixFlow. If you have a single login that works for multiple applications (single sign-on), you do not have any security questions for PhixFlow. 

You administrator can set up rules about how long passwords can remain valid; see Password Policy. Depending on the policy, when you reset a password you may be prompted for answers to security questions. Use the Security Questions tile to set 3 possible questions and the answers.

For example, you could set questions such as:

  • the name of your first pet
  • the make of your previous car
  • your favourite food.
Click  Insert excerpt_finish_finishnopaneltrue to save your answers.  Insert excerpt_check_password_check_passwordnopaneltrue NoteWe recommend you set questions and answers that you have never used for any other system. The questions are saved to your PhixFlow user account. This means administrators can see your questions. Answers are encrypted and only ever appear as a line of dots. Once they are set, you will not be able to see them again. Administrators cannot see your answers
