Personal settings

Settings › Personal holds everything that belongs to you rather than to an organization: your profile and sign-in security, personal tag folders, and referral links. Open it from your avatar at the foot of the navigation menu: choose Profile, or Personal settings & notifications.

Settings › Personal › Profile showing Basic information, Account security, and Danger zone

Profile​

The Profile section has three parts.

Basic information​

  • First Name and Last Name — click a field to edit it inline and save. Each change is confirmed with a toast.
  • Email — shown read-only here. Change it with Update Email below so the new address can be verified.

Account security​

ControlWhat happens
Enable MFAOpens the Enable Two-Factor Authentication dialog. Scan the QR code with an authenticator app (or use Trouble scanning? Switch to text code to copy the secret instead), enter the 6-digit Verification Code, and click Enable MFA.
View Backup Codes / Disable MFAShown once 2FA is on. Backup codes let you sign in if you lose your authenticator; Disable MFA asks for confirmation first.
Update EmailOpens Update Email Address. Enter the New Email Address and Confirm Password. You then verify the new address by email before it takes effect.
Update PasswordOpens Update Password. Enter your Current Password and a New Password.

Danger zone​

Delete My Account permanently deletes your account and its data. A dialog asks you to confirm; the action cannot be undone. When it completes you are returned to the sign-in page.

Accounts managed by SSO​

If your account comes from your organization's SSO/SAML provider, Basic information is read-only and the Account security controls are hidden. Update your name, email, or password through your identity provider or ask your organization's administrator. Account deletion is still available.

Signing in​

Huntbase supports these sign-in methods:

MethodNotes
Email and passwordCreate an account on the Create an account page and verify your email (Check your inbox) before first sign-in.
Continue with GoogleAvailable when enabled for your deployment.
Continue with MicrosoftAvailable when enabled for your deployment.
SSO / SAMLConfigured by your organization.
  • If 2FA is enabled, you are prompted for Two-factor authentication after entering your password. Enter the code from your authenticator, or click Switch to backup code and enter one of your backup codes.
  • Use Forgot password? on the sign-in page to request a reset email, then set a New password and Confirm new password from the link.

Accepting the terms​

The first time you sign in (and whenever the terms change) a Before you continue dialog asks you to accept the Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and Acceptable Use Policy. Tick the checkbox and click Accept & continue. Decline & sign out signs you out without accepting; you cannot use Huntbase until you accept.

Tags​

Settings › Personal › Tags manages your Personal Tags: tag folders visible only to you, for organising your own hunts, sessions, and queries without affecting team views. Organization-wide folders are managed separately by admins under Settings › [Organization] › Tags.

What you can do here:

  • New folder — opens New tag folder. Give it a Folder name (a slug is generated automatically and can be edited) and an optional Description. If more than one scope is available to you, choose who can see it.
  • Expand a folder to add tags with the New tag name… field, pick or change a tag's color, and delete individual tags.
  • Delete a folder. The Delete folder? dialog warns that all tags in the folder and their existing assignments are removed; this cannot be undone.

Tags you create here appear in tag pickers across Huntbase when your personal scope is selected.

Refer Huntbase​

Refer Huntbase, linked at the bottom of the Settings sidebar, lets you share Huntbase with people you know using unique referral links. A referral never adds anyone to your organisation — the page says so and links to Members.

  • Click Create referral link to generate a new link. It is copied to your clipboard immediately.
  • The page shows how many you have left as N of M referral links left. The limit is set by Huntbase and shown on the page; each link expires after 7 days.
  • Each row shows its status — pending, accepted (with the accepting email), or expired — and, while pending, a copy button and a revoke action.
  • The person opening the link lands on an invite page and can choose Create account and accept or Sign in and accept. If the link was bound to a specific email, they must use that email.
note

Referral links bring someone into Huntbase. To add someone to an organization, use Invite member under Settings › [Organization] › Members — see Organization management.

Scout​

Plan availability

Scout's endpoint tools are included on the Professional plan and above. If your plan doesn't include it, the app names the plan that does: organisation admins get Request upgrade and See plans, and other members are asked to talk to an admin. In your personal workspace, it asks you to create or switch to an organisation. Without them, the Endpoints card shows the plan notice.

Settings › Personal › Scout holds your own settings for how Scout works for you. They can only turn things off: your organization's settings still apply.

Settings › Personal › Scout with the Endpoints card and the Let Scout use endpoint tools for me switch on

Under Endpoints, Let Scout use endpoint tools for me is on by default. Turning it off stops Scout reading or proposing anything on endpoints in your chats and hunts, even where your organization allows it. An organization admin turns Scout's endpoint tools on under Settings › [Organization] › Capabilities (see Capabilities); what Scout then does for you is described in Scout on endpoints.

Under Telemetry, Let Scout read my telemetry is on by default. It lets Scout read the telemetry you ship (sources, field statistics and sample events) to answer questions and suggest Browse filters, read-only and with your permissions. Turning it off stops Scout using the lake tools in your chats and hunts, even where your organization allows them. The organization's switch is Scout lake tools under Settings › [Organization] › Capabilities › Telemetry lake (see Telemetry lake). What Scout then does for you is described in Scout and your telemetry.

Your API keys​

Settings › Personal › API keys lists your own personal keys. A key works in one organization, so the page shows one organization's keys at a time, with a picker when you belong to several. This page is there whether or not you see advanced settings. Organization admins also see every member's keys under Settings › [Organization] › API keys. A personal key acts as you and never has more access than you do. See API keys.
