# Manage your user account, profiles and settings in preparedEPA

## Your preparedEPA user account accompanies you throughout your professional career. You always use the same login, even when you change institution, specialty or role.

### Where can I find the settings?

Tap the profile icon in the bottom-right corner. In Settings, you can:

- edit your personal account details;
- manage your profiles and roles;
- as a Trainee, manage individual access for Supervisors;
- open the knowledge base and send feedback about preparedEPA;
- log out or delete your account.

### One account for your entire career

You can have several profiles under one user account. Each profile links a role, such as Trainee or Supervisor, to a specialty and an institution.

This is particularly useful if you:

- change institution, specialty or role during your career;
- work as a Supervisor in several specialties or institutions at the same time;
- are a Trainee in one specialty while working as a Supervisor in another.

You can add each new combination as another profile. All profiles remain connected to the same user account, so you do not need an additional login.

### Edit your personal account details

Under **Settings → User account → Edit**, you can update personal information such as your profile picture, first name, last name, gender and email address. You can also change your password there.

Your institution, specialty and role belong to your profiles instead. Manage changes to your professional activity under **My profiles / roles**.

### What is the current profile?

Your **current profile** determines the role, institution and specialty in which you are currently using preparedEPA.

You can switch your current profile in two ways:

- using the new drop-down menu on the Home screen;
- under **Settings → My profiles / roles** by selecting **“Set as current”**.

### Adding and managing profiles

Under **Settings → My profiles / roles**, you can see your active and deactivated profiles. From there, you can:

- create a new profile or role;
- manage profile details and data-sharing settings;
- set an active profile as current;
- deactivate profiles you no longer need;
- reactivate deactivated profiles when needed.

### Data privacy and sharing settings for each profile

During registration, you choose your data privacy and sharing settings. These settings determine how your data may be used within preparedEPA and shared with authorised people.

You can review and change these settings later in profile management. They are managed separately for each profile, so review them whenever you create a new profile for another role, institution or specialty.

### Supervisor roles and access permissions

When you create a Supervisor profile for an institution for the first time, an approval request is sent to the responsible institution administrator. You can then switch between approved, active profiles without another approval request.

Data-sharing settings are managed separately for each profile. As a Trainee, you can check which Supervisors have individual access to your profile and revoke that access when needed.

### Deactivating previous profiles

You can deactivate profiles from previous positions. They will no longer appear in the profile selector and cannot be used as the current profile. The former institution will then no longer have operational access to your data through this profile in preparedEPA.

The profile is not deleted and can be reactivated later. A Supervisor role may require renewed approval from the institution.

**Recommendation:** Review your active profiles regularly and deactivate profiles you no longer use.
