What Is a Hoicko User Profile?

A Hoicko user profile represents a user's identity within the platform and provides information that can help identify the user across workspace activities.

Depending on the workspace configuration, a profile may include information such as:

Name
Email
Profile image
Role-related information
Other account information

Why are profiles important?

User profiles appear in the context of everyday collaboration.

They can help teams understand:

Who owns a task
Who is responsible for an approval
Who is assigned to a project
Who performed an action
Who should receive a notification

Profile information vs permissions

A profile identifies a user.

Permissions determine what the user is allowed to access or change.

These are related but different concepts.

Example

Changing a user's department information does not automatically mean that their access should remain unchanged.

A role change should trigger a separate permission review.
