### Roles & access
Beyond editable fields, the panel also displays Roles & access:
- **Portal role** — Your assigned role, such as Owner, Admin, or Contributor.
- **Content access** — The workspaces, languages, and categories you can access based on your content role.

## How to view your access and permissions
1. Click your **profile picture** in the top navigation bar.
2. Click **View access and permissions** from the dropdown. The **View access permissions** panel opens.
The panel lists every feature in the project and shows whether you have **View** or **Update** access under your portal role and content role.

To change your permissions, an Owner or Admin must update your role from **Settings > Users & permissions > Users & groups**. See [Edit user](https://docs.document360.com/docs/edit-user) for instructions.
:::(Info) ( NOTE)
The **View access and permissions** option is only available when you are inside a project.<

## Best practices
- **Review your permissions before starting a new project.** Use **View access and permissions** to confirm you have the content access you need — this avoids blocked actions mid-workflow.
- **Check the portal language setting when onboarding teammates.** New users may prefer a different portal language; remind them this is set per-account in **My profile**.

## FAQ
Can I change my own portal role or content permissions?
No. Only users with an Owner or Admin portal role can change permissions. You can view your current permissions using View access and permissions, but you cannot edit them yourself.
Why is the Update button greyed out when editing my profile?
The Update button is inactive when no changes have been made, or when the author page URL contains characters other than alphanumeric characters, periods, or hyphens.
Can SSO users edit their email address?
No. Email addresses cannot be edited for SSO-authenticated accounts. Contact your Owner or Admin if your email needs to be updated.
Does changing the portal language affect the content my readers see?
No. The portal language setting only changes the UI language for your view in the Knowledge base portal. It has no effect on published article content.
Where can I see which articles I have contributed to?
In the My profile panel, select the Click here link under the contributions section. This opens your contribution history in the Analytics module.
