For SSO communities, the ability to change the profile name will depend on whether it is enabled by the SSO provider.

Change Display Image

To change your display image, click on your profile name to navigate to the Profile Page. Once there, click the pencil icon located next to your current profile image to upload a new one.

IdeaScale also integrates with Gravatar, a global avatar provider. If your email address is linked to a Gravatar account, your avatar will automatically populate in IdeaScale. You can change your default avatar at any time from Profile pages.

Additionally, you have the option to upload a new image directly from your Profile page. However, please note that community administrators have the ability to disable the 'Allow members to upload profile pictures' setting. This option can be managed in Manage Workspace >> Customization >> Customize Site Behavior >> User Profile Screen >> Allow Members to upload profile pictures.

  • By default, the profile name is taken from the user's email address.
  • For Single Sign-on enabled communities where the SSO service provider does not supply an avatar image, IdeaScale allows members to upload/change their own avatars. However, if the service provider supplies an avatar image IdeaScale will use the supplied image, and members will not be allowed to change the supplied image. We do not allow SVG images
  • If a member is part of several communities and one of the communities has the Allow members to upload profile picture setting disabled that member will not be able to do so for the other communities either.
