Profile Page

The profile page provides a preview of what a user's profile will look like when viewed by other users on the platform. Additionally, it's also a collector for information regarding the user's profile.

This page is broken into 4 main sections:

  1. Overview
  2. Metadata Records
  3. Activity Stream
  4. API Tokens

profile tabs

Overview

When users click on Profile, the preview of the user's account will be displayed.

The user's profile picture, first name, username, email address, date of registration, account status and API key are displayed on the left. Users are also able to see the number of metadata records they have uploaded, how many followers they have and their biography (if added by the user).

The email address and API key will not be viewable to other users (a System Administrator will be able to see it). This user has not generated an API key hence None is returned.
