This page provides an overview of user preferences in Splunk AppDynamics. Controller UI users can change their passwords, account settings, date and time format, and other preferences on the My Preferences page.

You can access the controls for changing your display name, contact email, or password from the My Preferences page by clicking the Edit link under your email. The controls require you to enter your password to complete the change.

The display name is the name that the Tenant uses to identify you in specific screen text and messages. For example, it appears in notifications to other Tenant users when you share a dashboard with them. You cannot change your username. To change your username, you need to have an administrator delete your account and create another one with the new name.

You can display non-English languages in the Tenant UI. To do so, enable your font preference to use system fonts. Using system fonts directs the UI to display text in the font configured for the system running the browser.

Some user account settings are attributes of local users (that is, users validated against credentials stored in Splunk AppDynamics). If your Tenant is configured to use an external authentication mechanism instead, such as SAML or LDAP, you need to change the equivalent settings in the external system instead.
