Editing your user account

To edit your user account:

1. Open the KUMA web interface, click the name of your user account in the bottom-left corner of the window and click the Profile button in the opened menu.

   The User window with your user account parameters opens.

2. Make the necessary changes to the parameters:
   • Name (required)—enter the user name. The length of the string must be 1 to 128 Unicode characters.
   • Login(required) – enter a unique user name for the user account. Must contain from 3 to 64 characters (only a–z, A–Z, 0–9, . \ - _).

     Email (required)—enter the unique email address of the user. Must be a valid email address.

3. Select or clear the check boxes that control access rights and user capabilities:
   • Receive email notifications—select this check box if you want the user to receive SMTP notifications from KUMA.
   • Display non-printable characters—select this check box if you want the KUMA web interface to display non-printing characters such as spaces, tab characters, and line breaks.

     Spaces and tab characters are displayed in all input fields (except Description), in normalizers, correlation rules, filters and connectors, and in SQL queries for searching events in the Events section.

     Spaces are displayed as dots.

     A tab character is displayed as a dash in normalizers, correlation rules, filters and connectors. In other fields, a tab character is displayed as one or two dots.

     Line break characters are displayed in all input fields that support multi-line input, such as the event search field.

     If the Display non-printable characters check box is selected, you can press Ctrl/Command+* to enable and disable the display of non-printing characters.

4. If you need to change the password, click the Change password button and fill in the fields described below in the opened window. When finished, click OK.
   • Current password (required)—enter the current password of your user account.
   • New password (required)—enter a new password to your account. Password requirements:
     • 8 to 128 characters long.
