Section 1: Accessing and Updating Your Profile
Your profile settings control how you appear in Polar and how the platform communicates with you.
How to Access Account Settings
Log into your Polar account.
Click on your profile icon in the bottom-left corner.
Select Account Settings from the dropdown menu.
Updating Personal Information
Within the Account Settings page, you can:
Update your name and profile details
Change your email address
Upload or update your profile picture (Recommended dimensions: 200x200 pixels. Accepted formats: PNG, JPEG.)
Review your account status and workspace association
Keeping your information current ensures:
Team members can easily identify you
Notifications are sent to the correct email address
Admins can manage permissions accurately
Tip: If you're part of multiple workspaces, double-check which workspace you’re currently in before making changes.
Section 2: Security & Authentication Settings
Security is critical when working with customer data and analytics integrations. Polar provides secure authentication and account protection options.
Changing Your Password
To update your password:
Navigate to Account Settings
Select Security
Enter your current password and create a new one
Save changes
Use a strong, unique password that includes a mix of letters, numbers, and special characters.
Locked out of your account? Click "Reset Password" on the Login page to reset it and regain access.
Single Sign-On (SSO)
If your workspace uses Google Sign-In or SSO, you’ll manage authentication through your identity provider.
If login fails, confirm you're using the correct provider.
Contact your workspace admin if you need SSO access enabled.
Best Practice: Enable SSO for improved security and easier team management.
Section 3: Workspace Preferences & Notifications
Some settings affect how Polar works for you and your team.
Managing Notifications
Depending on your role, you may be able to configure:
Email notifications
Integration alerts
Reporting updates
System activity updates
Adjust these to reduce noise while staying informed about important changes.
Workspace-Level Settings (Admin Access)
If you are a workspace admin, you may also be able to:
Manage team members and permissions
Review connected integrations
Configure default data settings
Control billing and subscription details
Admin settings directly impact how your entire team uses Polar, so changes should be made carefully.
Reminder: Only workspace admins can modify billing and certain integration settings.
