You are able to copy the organization address as the user address at any time with the down arrow icon to the right of the Organization field.
Once you have either clicked the Save or Save Draft button after adding an organization to a user, there will also be a View Organization button next to the Organization field in order to open up the organization's profile.
For more information about user profiles, see our Profile page.
Password
Clicking on the Password function from your profile menu will open a modal window that looks like this:
All passwords are randomly generated and sent by email when the System Administrator first authorizes a user to access a SmartSimple instance - no user or administrator can ever see another user's password in the system. For more information, see our Password Policy page.
In order to change your password from the Personal Settings tab, simply type in your current password, type and retype a new password, and click the Submit button.
There will be a policy note at the bottom of the modal window that describes the required complexity of your password before you can submit a new one into the system.
Remember: Passwords are case-sensitive!
If you are a SysAdmin, you are able to determine the complexity of passwords and security measures concerning passwords by following these steps:
1. Click on the 9-square menu icon on the top right of your page.
2. Under the heading Configuration, select Global Settings.
3. Under the tab Security, select Password and Activation Policies.
System
Clicking on the System option from your profile menu will open up a modal window that allows you to personalize and select the display settings of your use of the SmartSimple system.
The Security tab in this page will generate a TOTP (Time-based One-Time Password) secret key and QR code.
The Display tab in this page will allow you to modify the display views of the system. You can perform the following functions:
- Enable incoming Instant Messages to automatically open

It is always best practice to ensure a specific, appropriate, and correct regional time-zone settings, particularly if your company works in applications that maintain deadlines.
The Other tab allows you to set Default Settings regarding new users and organizations. You are able to select a company or role that all users will be organized into, and/or select the parent company and category that new organizations will be sorted into. This structure pertains to the organization hierarchy that every SmartSimple instance has as its base architecture. You are able to use XML import to set a common Profile template such as for CVs.
