My Space

What this screen is for

My Space is your own corner of the platform: your profile and settings, the groups you belong to, and your notifications. Nothing here affects anyone else.

Before you start

To do this You need
Open My Space signed in
See notifications the notifications read permission

Opening it

  1. My Space at the bottom of the sidebar.
Item Route Page
My Profile /settings My Profile
My Groups /my-groups My Groups
Notifications /notifications Notifications

Notifications has its own sidebar entry rather than sitting in the submenu.

The interface

📸 Screenshot Placeholder: The My Space submenu expanded. Mark: (1) My Profile, (2) My Groups, (3) the notifications entry above it.

# Control What it does When you’d use it
1 My Profile Your account and display preferences Changing theme, checking who you are signed in as
2 My Groups The groups you belong to Working out why you can or cannot do something
3 Notifications What the platform wants to tell you Regularly

Walkthroughs

There is nothing to do on this page itself — it is a hub. See My Profile, My Groups and Notifications.

Scenario

Working out why you cannot do something.

Before asking an administrator, two of these three pages answer the question.

  1. My Profile — confirm which account you are actually signed in as. Being signed in as the wrong identity is more common than it sounds, particularly where people hold both a personal and a work account with the Git provider.
  2. My Groups — see which groups you are in. Group membership drives ownership; roles drive permissions. If you expected to be in a team’s group and are not, that is worth reporting on its own.
  3. If both look right, the gap is a role rather than anything you control. Ask an administrator to check Access Explorer for your username and the exact permission — and give them the permission string from the error message rather than a description of what you were trying to do.

Step 3’s detail is what makes the request answerable in one round trip instead of three.

When it doesn’t work

Symptom Cause How to check Fix
Notifications entry is absent Missing the notifications read permission Access Explorer Ask for a role granting it
You are in no groups Nobody has added you My Groups Ask an administrator; membership needs platform-settings.user.assign-group
Your details are wrong Profiles come from your OAuth account and are not self-editable My Profile An administrator corrects the user record
A permission was granted but nothing changed Permission results are cached for the session — Reload the page
