Purpose

The Profile settings page is where a user manages their personal identity within the Athena product. It allows them to set their name and profile picture, view their current role and email address, and tailor their navigation experience by choosing a sidebar layout preset. For users who wish to permanently leave the platform, this page also houses the account deletion controls.

​
What’s on the page

Personal information This section handles the user’s basic identity.
  • Profile picture: A clickable circular avatar area showing the user’s current photo, their initials, or an “Add photo” prompt. Clicking this opens the Profile picture dialog.
  • First name & Last name: Text fields for the user’s name.
  • Email: A read-only field displaying the email address the user signs in with.
  • Role: A read-only field displaying the user’s permission level for the current active website (e.g., “Viewer” or “Admin”). Explanatory text below notes that only organization admins can change roles in the People section.
Sidebar
  • Sidebar preset: A dropdown menu that allows the user to change their default left-hand navigation layout. Options include General, Content Marketer, SEO, Executive, PR, and Custom. Text below explains that presets update the default layout, but items can still be customized directly from the sidebar.
Danger Zone A collapsed-by-default section for destructive actions.
  • Delete account: When the section is expanded, a card appears with a button to permanently delete the user’s account and all associated personal data.
Profile picture dialog Opened by clicking the avatar circle. It contains a 3D-flipping card with two tabs:
  • Regular: Shows the user’s standard uploaded photo. Includes options to “Upload photo” or, if they are signed in via Google, “Import from Google”. Also includes a small “X” icon to delete the photo.
  • Greek: Shows an AI-generated portrait of the user styled as a marble Greek statue. Includes a button to “Create Greek avatar” (or regenerate it) and an “X” icon to delete it.
Delete your account dialog Opened by clicking “Delete account”. Contains a warning message, a text input that requires the user to type “DELETE”, and a destructive “Delete account” button that remains disabled until the confirmation text is typed.

​
What you can do here

  • Change name: Type in the First name or Last name fields. Changes are saved automatically when the user clicks or tabs out of the field (on blur).
  • Upload or change profile picture: Click the avatar circle to open the Profile picture dialog, then use the “Upload photo” or “Import from Google” buttons.
  • Remove profile picture: In the Profile picture dialog, hover over the current photo and click the “X” icon in the top right.
  • Generate Greek avatar: In the Profile picture dialog, switch to the Greek tab and click “Create Greek avatar” or the rotate icon to generate a marble statue version of the profile picture.
  • Change sidebar preset: Open the Sidebar preset dropdown and select a new role-based layout. The navigation sidebar will instantly update to reflect the new layout priorities.
  • Delete account: Click the Danger Zone toggle to expand it, click the red “Delete account” button, type “DELETE” in the prompt, and click the final “Delete account” button. This permanently deletes the user’s account and signs them out.

​
Data shown

  • The First name, Last name, and Email fields pull from the user’s global account profile.
  • The Role field reflects the user’s effective permission level for the organization or website they are currently viewing.
  • The Sidebar preset dropdown reflects the last saved navigation layout choice.
  • The Profile picture area displays images saved to the user’s account storage.

Common workflows

1. Updating your profile picture
  1. Click the circular avatar placeholder (or your current photo) under “Personal information”.
  2. The “Profile picture” dialog opens.
  3. Click “Upload photo” to choose a file from your computer, or “Import from Google” if you signed in with a Google account.
  4. Once the upload finishes, the app saves the photo and automatically flips to the “Greek” tab to generate an AI marble variant. You can close the dialog if you just wanted the standard photo.
2. Changing your sidebar layout
  1. Scroll down to the “Sidebar” section.
  2. Click the “Sidebar preset” dropdown menu.
  3. Select a preset that matches your role (e.g., “SEO” or “Content Marketer”).
  4. A success toast appears, and the left-hand navigation sidebar immediately updates its visible items and order to match your choice.
3. Deleting your account
  1. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click “Danger Zone” to expand it.
  2. Click the red “Delete account” button.
  3. A confirmation dialog appears. Type DELETE into the text box.
  4. Click the red “Delete account” button in the dialog to finalize the deletion. You will be signed out and redirected to the login screen.

​
Empty, loading, and error states

  • Empty avatar: If a user hasn’t uploaded a photo, the avatar circle displays their initials on a gray background, and an animated arrow points to it reading “Add your photo”.
  • Loading: If the page’s data takes longer than 5 seconds to load, a telemetry event is fired for monitoring, but no disruptive full-page spinners block the view. During avatar generation or upload, a small spinner replaces the image area.
  • Errors: If saving a name change or updating a sidebar preset fails, a red error toast appears at the top of the screen (e.g., “Failed to update profile” or “Failed to update preferences”). Avatar upload limits (like file size or type) trigger immediate error toasts.
  • Linked from: The main Settings navigation menu (under “Profile”). The legacy /account route also redirects here.
  • Links to: The “Delete account” flow redirects the user to the /login screen after successful deletion.

Common support questions

How do I change my email address? The email field on this page is read-only. Email addresses are tied to your authentication method and cannot currently be changed directly from this settings page. Why is my Role field grayed out? The Role field displays your current permission level, but you cannot change your own role. Roles can only be changed by organization administrators in the Settings > Users (People) section. I just uploaded a photo, why did it switch to a Greek statue? As a fun feature, successfully uploading a standard profile picture automatically triggers the generation of an AI “Greek” variant. If you prefer not to use it, you can simply close the dialog, or click the “X” on the Greek tab to remove it; your standard photo is already saved. What does changing the Sidebar preset do? It updates the default order and visibility of the items in your left-hand navigation menu to prioritize the tools most useful for that specific job function. You can still manually pin, hide, or reorder individual items in the sidebar itself after picking a preset.
