User Profile and Preferences

You can view and change Alation catalog user profiles. A user profile has:

• an avatar

• a user description

• additional user information, such as position/title

• published queries

and is visible to other catalog users. Alation automatically enriches a user profile by identifying user areas of expertise.

A user with sufficient permission level can:

• customize Compose settings and default preferences

• set email notification preferences by enabling or disabling notifications

• change the user’s Alation password

• view and remove cached database connections

• create refresh tokens to access Alation APIs

• set CSV download options
