Account Settings and Password

The Settings page shows your account information and lets you customise your PowerPortal experience. Open it from the username dropdown in the top-right corner → Settings.

Account information

The following fields are read from the TAU LDAP directory and cannot be changed in PowerPortal:

Field Source
Username Your TAU login name.
Full name First and last name from the TAU directory.
Email Your TAU email address.
UID Your POSIX user ID on the cluster filesystem.

To update your name or email, contact the TAU registrar or IT helpdesk.

Groups

The Settings page also lists the POSIX groups your account belongs to, which affect partition and account access. If the list is long, use the show more/less control to expand or collapse it.

Theme

Choose between Light, Dark, or System (follows your operating system or browser preference). The setting is saved to your account and persists across sessions and devices.

Changing your password

Passwords are managed centrally by TAU — they cannot be changed inside PowerPortal. Use the TAU self-service password reset portal:
