'My information' tab
In the 'My information' tab, you can edit your individual account settings. Below is a full list of fields that are displayed in the 'My information' tab. Fields that you can edit are marked with an asterisk (*). If a field is greyed out, you either don't have the ability to edit it yourself, or it's being automatically updated via an integration. If this is the case, please reach out to one of your account admins and request that they update the information on your behalf.

This section of your settings is populated by any custom attributes that have been created for your company, and will only appear if someone in your organization has created custom attributes. Permission for updating custom attributes is set by the account admin that creates the custom attribute.
