# Manage Your Personal Profile and Settings on Cibocom

> Keep your personal profile accurate so counterparties can identify and engage with you with confidence on every listing, bid, deal, and trade.

Your personal profile on Cibocom represents you as an individual professional within the platform. It tells counterparties who you are, what role you hold, and how to reach you — building the trust that underpins every successful trade. Keeping your profile accurate and up to date ensures your communications are attributed correctly and that other members of the network can connect with the right person at your company.

## Accessing your profile

Navigate to your profile settings from any page in the platform.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Settings">
    Click your avatar or initials in the top-right corner of the navigation bar to open the account menu.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select Profile">
    Choose **Settings** from the dropdown, then select **Profile** in the left-hand settings navigation.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Edit your details">
    Click **Edit Profile** to enable editing. Make your changes, then click **Save Changes** to apply them.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Profile fields

Your personal profile contains the following fields. Fill in every field to present a complete, credible identity to your trading counterparties.

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Full Name" icon="user">
    Enter your first and last name as you would like them to appear to other Cibocom members. Use your professional name, not a nickname or alias.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Job Title" icon="briefcase">
    Enter your current role at your company — for example, *Head of Procurement* or *Export Sales Manager*. This helps counterparties understand your authority and relevance.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Email Address" icon="envelope">
    Your email address is used for login and platform notifications. To change it, enter a new address and confirm it via the verification email sent to the new address.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Phone Number" icon="phone">
    Add a direct phone number so counterparties and your team can reach you when a trade needs urgent attention. Include your country code.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Profile Photo" icon="image">
    Upload a clear headshot so counterparties can put a face to your name. Accepted formats are JPG and PNG; maximum file size is 5 MB.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

<Tip>
  Upload a professional headshot rather than a logo or a generic image. Counterparties are significantly more likely to engage with a listing or connection request when they can see the person behind the account.
</Tip>

## Changing your password

Update your password at any time from the Profile settings page.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to Security">
    In the **Profile** settings section, scroll to **Security** or select the **Password** tab if shown separately.

  <Step title="Enter your current password">
    Type your existing password in the **Current Password** field to confirm your identity.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set a new password">
    Enter your new password in the **New Password** field, then repeat it in **Confirm New Password**. Passwords must be at least 10 characters and include a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Click **Update Password**. You will remain logged in on your current device, but any other active sessions will be signed out.
  </Step>
</Steps>

</Note>

## Language and timezone settings

Cibocom displays dates, times, and certain interface labels according to your language and timezone preferences.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Preferences">
    In **Settings → Profile**, scroll to the **Preferences** section.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select your language">
    Choose your preferred display language from the **Language** dropdown. The interface will reload in the selected language immediately.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set your timezone">
    Select your local timezone from the **Timezone** dropdown. All timestamps on listings, bids, deals, and shipments will be shown in this timezone.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save preferences">
    Click **Save Preferences** to apply both settings.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Info>
  Setting the correct timezone is especially important when reviewing bid expiry times and shipment deadlines, which are shown in your local time.

## Linked accounts and single sign-on

If your company has configured Single Sign-On (SSO) with Cibocom, you can link your corporate identity provider account to your Cibocom profile for seamless, password-free login.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Linked Accounts">
    In **Settings → Profile**, select the **Linked Accounts** tab.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect your identity provider">
    Click **Connect** next to your company's identity provider (for example, Microsoft Entra ID or Google Workspace). You will be redirected to your provider's login page to authorise the connection.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm the link">
    Once authorised, you are returned to Cibocom and the linked account appears as **Active**. From this point you can sign in via the SSO option on the Cibocom login page.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  SSO must be enabled for your organisation by a company administrator before individual users can link their accounts. Contact your Cibocom company admin if the **Linked Accounts** tab is not visible.
