Getting started
Open your profile menu
Use the profile icon in the top bar to confirm which account you are signed in as and to log out safely at the end of a shift.
Updated 12 September 2026
The profile icon in the top navigation bar does two things only. It shows who you are signed in as, and it lets you log out.
Open the menu
Click the profile icon in the top navigation bar. A dropdown appears.
What does it show?
The dropdown displays:
- Your user name.
- Your email address.
You cannot change them here. They come from the user account your administrator created. If either is wrong, ask someone with permission to edit users. They can correct it on your user record under Configuration, then User roles and permissions, then the Users tab.
Log out
Click Logout. The session ends and you are returned to the login page.
Always log out on a computer that other people use, especially a shop counter terminal. Permissions in Kuver Books belong to your account. If an approver leaves a session open, anyone at that terminal can approve documents in the approver’s name. The audit log (the record of who did what) will show the approver did it.
Where account settings actually live
You cannot change account details from the profile dropdown. To change them, open Settings and profile at the bottom of the left navigation panel:
- Profile information shows your username, email address, contact number and assigned role, and holds the change password form.
- General information shows the organisation name, VAT number, date format, default currency, current fiscal year and system language, all read-only.
- Notifications controls which alerts reach your account.
A quick way to check your permissions
If an action you expect is missing, look at the role on Profile information. Your role decides which modules you can see. It also decides whether you can view, create, update, approve, void or enable and disable records. Tell your administrator your role name when you ask for access. This makes the problem quicker to fix.
