How to Manage User Profiles in Horilla CRM for Better Access Control

In Horilla CRM, the User Profile is the central place where a logged-in user can view their identity and professional details. This section reflects how the user is represented across the entire system and is essential for accountability, permissions, and communication.

This guide focuses only on the User Profile section (the highlighted area in the image), including how to access it and what information it presents.

How to Access the User Profile

Accessing the User Profile in Horilla CRM is simple and consistent across the platform:

1. Navigate to the top-right corner of the application
2. Click on your profile avatar/initials.
3. Select My Settings from the dropdown menu.
4. By default, the User Profile page opens, displaying your personal and work-related details.

This ensures users can quickly reach their profile from anywhere within the CRM.
