Change Settings for Your Own User Account

The time zone associated with each user account determines how data is displayed in dashboards and views. The administrator usually sets the time zone and preferred language for each user during user account creation. The time zone should match the locale of the computer that the operator uses to access CA Performance Center.

If your user account has the required role right, you can change the time zone and other parameters for your own user account.

Follow these steps:

1. Log in to your user account.
2. Click the name of your user account where it appears in the upper right corner of the console user interface.

   The User Settings dialog opens.

   Your role rights determine the parameters that you can change for your own account.

3. Select the appropriate language for your account from the Preferred Language drop-down list.
4. Supply your email address in the Email Address field.
5. Select the appropriate time zone from the Time Zone list.

   Note: The default time zone is UTC (Coordinated Universal Time).

6. Change your default reporting group by selecting another group from the drop-down list.

   The list only includes groups from your permission groups.

7. Change your password by first typing in your current password.
8. Supply a new password. Then type the new password again to confirm it.
9. Click Save to save your changes.
