Your Profile

Your profile page is the hub for managing your personal account settings, security configuration, and notification preferences. Every user — whether regular or admin — has access to their own profile page.

To access your profile, click your avatar in the top-right corner of the dashboard and select your profile, or find Profile in the sidebar under the Account section.

Overview

The profile page is organized into tabs along the top. Each tab focuses on a different aspect of your account:

Profile tab

The Profile tab is where you manage your account identity.

Profile picture and banner

Upload a custom avatar to personalize your account. The dashboard supports PNG, JPG, WEBP, and GIF images up to 2 MB. After selecting a file, you can crop the image before uploading.

You can also upload a profile banner image that appears at the top of your profile.

Account information

View and update your core account details:

• Username — Your login name (read-only, set during account creation)
• Email — Your email address, used for password resets and notification delivery
• Display name — An optional name shown in the dashboard instead of your username

Click Edit Profile to update your email or display name.

Security tab

The Security tab provides comprehensive account protection options.

Password

Change your password from this section. Enter your current password followed by your new password. Strong passwords are recommended — the admin may enforce minimum length and complexity requirements through the registration policy.

Two-factor authentication (2FA)

Enable TOTP-based two-factor authentication for an extra layer of account security:

1. Click Enable 2FA in the Security tab
2. Scan the QR code with an authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Authy, or any TOTP-compatible app)
3. Enter the 6-digit code from your authenticator app to confirm
4. Save the recovery codes that are displayed — store them in a secure location

Once enabled, you will be prompted for a TOTP code each time you log in.

Passkeys (WebAuthn)

Register hardware security keys or biometric authenticators as passkeys for passwordless login:

1. Click Add Passkey in the Security tab
2. Follow your browser’s prompts to register a security key (YubiKey, fingerprint, Face ID, etc.)
3. Give the passkey a recognizable name

You can register multiple passkeys and remove any that are no longer needed.

Active sessions

View all devices and browsers currently signed into your account. Each session entry shows:

• Device and browser — What was used to log in
• IP address — Where the session originated
• Last active — When the session was last used

Click Revoke next to any session to immediately sign it out. This is useful if you notice an unfamiliar session or left yourself logged in on a shared computer.

Notification Settings tab

Configure how you receive notifications from the dashboard. The notification system supports multiple delivery channels:

For each notification type, you can choose which channels to enable. This lets you receive critical alerts via email while keeping routine notifications in-app only.

Notification Center tab

The Notification Center is your inbox for system and admin notifications. Notifications appear here when:

• An admin sends a broadcast or direct notification
• A system event triggers a notification (application installed, update available, etc.)
• An automated alert rule fires (CPU threshold, disk space, etc.)

Each notification shows a title, message body, and timestamp. You can:

• Mark as read — Dismiss the unread indicator
• Mark as unread — Flag a notification for follow-up
• Dismiss — Remove a notification from your inbox

The alert bell icon in the top bar shows a green dot when you have unread notifications, and clicking it takes you directly to the Notification Center.

Disk usage

Your profile displays a breakdown of your disk storage allocation:

• Used space — How much disk space your files and applications consume
• Quota — Your allocated storage limit (set by the admin, or unlimited)
• Usage bar — A visual progress indicator showing consumption relative to your quota

Support tab

The Support tab allows you to enable temporary SSH access for the QuickBox support team. This is used when you need hands-on troubleshooting assistance from the QuickBox team.

• Enable support access — Grants the support team temporary SSH access to your server. The access window has an automatic expiry.
• Disable support access — Revokes the support team’s access immediately.
• Status — Shows whether support access is currently active and when it will expire.

This can also be managed via the CLI with qb support enable, qb support disable, and qb support status.
