Account

What is an account

A niyase account is an ID tied to a "user = individual." A single account can belong to multiple spaces (for work and personal use).

• Account: a user identifier keyed by email address
• Profile: personal information such as display name, icon, and contact details
• Membership: a record representing your role within each space (OWNER / ADMIN / MEMBER, etc.)

A "resident registration (account)" and a "company talent list (employee)" are separate concepts. Business data inside a space uses "employee" records that contain a copied transcription of your account information.

Behavior with local use (desktop / mobile)

On desktop and mobile, all features work even when you are not logged in.

• Not logged in: everything stays local, using the local profile (this device's default)
• Sign up: obtain the right to use the cloud. Local data is kept as-is
• Log in: link to your account. Cloud sync is turned ON by an explicit, per-space action

Even after you log out, the local profile remains as "this device's default." One device has one local profile.

Account settings

You can change the following from /account:

Tab	Contents
Profile	Display name, icon, contact details
Auth	Change password, register passkey, two-factor authentication
Connections	Link external IdPs such as Google
Devices	Active sessions, login history
Backup	Export / import the local DB (see Backup and restore for details)
Close	Delete account

Closing your account

When you close your account, it is disabled immediately and physically deleted after 30 days. If you are the OWNER of a space, you must transfer OWNER privileges or delete that space before closing your account.

Terminology: sign up / log in / log out

niyase standardizes its authentication terms as follows ("sign in" and "sign out" are not used):

• Sign up = create an account
• Log in = authenticate an account
• Log out = end an authentication session
