Account Settings
Update your profile, password, and personal notification or sync preferences.
Holy Resource includes a personal Account Settings dialog for the currently signed-in user.
Open it from the user menu in the sidebar footer:
- Select your name/avatar.
- Choose Account Settings.
This dialog is about your own user account. It is separate from Settings → General, which manages system-wide church, database, sync, provider, and maintenance configuration.
On phones and other compact mobile surfaces, Holy Resource also includes Mobile Settings.
It gives you quick access to:
- your personal Account Settings dialog
- billing access when your license tier includes it
- current church and branch context
- license status refresh
- sync health and manual sync actions
- update checks, About, and Help links
Use these settings when you need operational status or common account actions from the field without opening the full desktop-oriented settings surface.
Profile
The Profile tab lets you update your own user-facing details:
- profile picture
- display name
- email address
- phone number
- short bio
The same tab also shows account reference details such as your username and the date your account was created.
Profile pictures must be image files and currently have a 5 MB upload limit.
Security
The Security tab is for password changes.
To change your password, enter:
- your current password
- a new password
- confirmation of the new password
Holy Resource requires the new password to include:
- at least 8 characters
- an uppercase letter
- a lowercase letter
- a number
- a special character
Use this screen when rotating your own password after staff changes, device turnover, or a suspected credential leak.
Preferences
The Preferences tab stores user-level communication and sync-alert choices for your current account.
Notifications
You can turn these on or off individually:
- Email Notifications: for important updates, alerts, or summaries related to your account and activity in Holy Resource. This may include:
- SMS Notifications: for important updates, alerts, or summaries related to your account and activity in Holy Resource.
- Push Notifications: for important updates, alerts, or summaries related to your account and activity in Holy Resource.
- Weekly Digest: a summary of your account activity and updates in Holy Resource.
- Maintenance Alerts: notifications about scheduled maintenance or system updates.
Sync & Alerts
You can also control:
- Sync Notifications: whether to receive notifications about sync status, errors, or conflicts.
- Conflict Alerts: for when Holy Resource detects a potential data conflict during sync. We recommend keeping this on so you can review and resolve any conflicts before they are applied to your local data.
- Auto-Sync: whether to automatically sync when changes are made and a connection is available, or to keep changes local until you choose to sync manually.
These preferences affect your own experience. They do not replace branch permissions, system sync settings, or administrator-controlled maintenance policies.
What Account Settings Does Not Control
Account Settings does not manage:
- church profile details
- database backup targets
- messaging provider credentials
- LAN pairing or server connection codes
- organization-wide permissions
Use Settings → General for system configuration and branch-level operational settings.
If an administrator changes your branch access or removes a sensitive module permission while your device is syncing, you may be redirected back through sign-in or lose access to that module immediately after Holy Resource refreshes your security state.
