Open Your Profile
- Select your name and avatar at the top right of Posnic.
- Select My Profile.
- Wait for Profile Details to load the current first name, last name, email, image and access badges.
- Confirm this is your own signed-in account before changing anything.
Change Your Name
First name accepts 3 to 100 characters when supplied. Last name accepts 1 to 100 characters when supplied. Email is displayed for reference but is not editable in My Profile. An administrator must use the Users workflow for account-level changes outside this drawer.
- Select the underlined First Name value and enter the corrected name.
- Select the underlined Last Name value and enter the corrected surname.
- Select Update.
- Confirm the success message and verify the name beside the top-right avatar changes.
Change or Remove the Photo
- Select the green edit icon beside the current image to choose a file.
- Supported file extensions are GIF, PNG, JPG, JPEG and BMP.
- The server rejects images larger than 5 MB.
- Review the preview, then select Update to attach the uploaded image and name values to your profile.
- Select the red delete icon to return the account to the default user image.
- Do not upload identity documents, customer images or other confidential material as a profile photo.
Read the Permission Summary
The R, W and D badges show the account's effective Read, Write and Delete access for Dashboard, Sale, Receiving, Customer, Supplier, Category, Item, Expense, Branch, Report and User areas. They are a read-only summary in My Profile.
| Badge | Meaning | Where to change it |
|---|---|---|
| R | The account can read or open that area. | Manage -> Users or the assigned role. |
| W | The account can create or update records in that area. | Manage -> Users or the assigned role. |
| D | The account can perform allowed delete actions in that area. | Manage -> Users or the assigned role. |
| Missing or inactive badge | That access is not currently granted. | Ask an authorized administrator; profile editing cannot grant access. |
Public Demo Boundary
The public demo lets visitors open and inspect Profile Details, but its server blocks the final profile update so the shared Demo Admin account remains predictable. Use your own shop or desktop installation when testing a real profile change.
Troubleshoot Profile Updates
| Symptom | Check | Resolution |
|---|---|---|
| Name does not save | Minimum length and whether this is the public demo. | Use at least 3 characters for first name and retry in your own shop. |
| Image is rejected | Extension and file size. | Use GIF, PNG, JPG, JPEG or BMP no larger than 5 MB. |
| Email cannot be selected | Email is intentionally read-only here. | Use the authorized Users workflow for account maintenance. |
| Permission badge is wrong | Assigned role and custom user access. | Ask an administrator to review the user record; Update Profile cannot change permissions. |
| Old avatar remains | Browser cache and whether Update succeeded. | Reload after a confirmed success; do not repeatedly upload duplicate files. |
