Revoke the right that client applications were initially granted by you to access the Covata Platform's resources through your Covata user account.
You can also manage a list of contacts (relating to your account) of people you have either added yourself or shared items with previously. Your contacts list makes it easier to share items with a regular set of people.
In the Account Details section, update any of the following fields as required:
First Name - e.g. your given name or nickname
Last name - e.g. your surname or family name
Other Name - e.g. a middle or other given name - this value is only used for Covata user accounts which were created from a user directory external to the Covata Platform (i.e. an LDAP account type)
Mobile Number - this must include the country calling code and plus (+) sign prefix
Default Language - select the appropriate langauge that suits your region/locale
Note: Updating the First Name, Last Name and Mobile Number also updates these fields in Covata Administration, which can be accessed by Covata Platform administrators. Refer to the Covata Platform Administrator's Guide for more information.
Click the Save button and the updates to your personal details are saved.
Note: If your Covata user account was created from an external user directory (i.e. you have an LDAP account type), then you will not be able to change your password through Safe Share. To change these details, please contact your Covata Platform administrator or the administrator responsible for managing LDAP/the user directory for your account.
In the Account Details section, click the Change password link.
Specify your old password and then your new password twice (once again to confirm it):
Click the Change button and your Covata user account's password is now changed.
Note: If your Covata user account was created from a user directory which is external to the Covata Platform (i.e. you have an LDAP account type), then you will not be able to change your password through Safe Share. To change your password, please contact your Covata Platform administrator or the administrator responsible for managing LDAP or the user directory of your account.
Viewing your storage usage and quota
Information about your storage usage and quota (managed by the Covata Platform) is available in the Account Plan section of the My Account feature.
Note: This section is not available if your account does not have the Originator role. This role provides your account with the ability to upload and store content (to your own storage space) securely with Safe Share.
To view information about your storage usage and quota:
Access the My Account feature and ... Scroll down to the Account Plan section, which contains the following information about your user account's storage usage and quota:
Plan name - The name of your plan is indicated in bold text. Your Covata Platform administrator would have assigned a plan to your account either directly (when they created or last edited your account) or indirectly (by virtue of your Covata Platform's default plan). Refer to the Plan description in the Covata Platform Administrator's Guide for more information.
Usage - The amount of storage space that your account currently uses (in megabytes).
Percentage usage - The percentage of your quota that your account's usage occupies. This percentage is also indicated visually at the top of the Account Plan section. Tip: If your percentage usage approaches 100%, either remove some of your own secure content or ask your Covata Platform administrator to switch your plan to one with a larger quota.
Quota - The amount of storage space (in gigabytes) allocated to your account, by virtue of your account's plan.
Tip: Information about your storage usage, percentage usage and quota are also indicated in the footer of most Safe Share web application pages:
Viewing your last sign-in details
To view information about your 'Last Sign-in Details':
Access the My Account feature and ... Scroll down to the Last Sign-in Details section, which contains the following information about your user account's last sign-in to Covata Safe Share or the Covata Platform:
Client Application - the Client ID value of the client application through which your account was used to sign in to Covata Safe Share or the Covata Platform. In most cases, this would be the Client ID for the Safe Share web application or Safe Share for Windows . For more information about Client IDs, please refer to the Client ID description in the Covata Platform Administrator's Guide,
IP Address - the IP address of the computer/device from which this sign-in occurred and
Time - when your account was used to sign in.
Modifying your email notification preferences
You can reduce the frequency of your Covata notifications by modifying your email notification preferences from the default of one email for every file or folder that is shared with you, to a periodic digest of all files and folders that have been shared with you over a set period.
Scroll down to the Email Notification Frequency section and choose:
Per Item to receive an email notification for every file or folder that is shared with you.
Daily to receive a daily email notification of all files and folders that were shared with you over the last day.
Weekly to receive a weekly email notification of all files and folders that were shared with you over the last week.
None to not receive any email notifications when a file or folder is shared with you.
Click the Save button and the updates to your email notification preferences are saved.
Revoking client applications
The Applications section at the end of this page (accessed through the My Account feature) indicates 'No applications found' if you have not used a client application that integrates with the Covata Platform's Application Programming Interface (API), which is not a Covata Safe Share application.
Managing your contacts
Whenever you share your own content with other people, their email addresses are automatically added to your list of Contacts, which makes it easier to specify these people as collaborators the next time you share your content with them.
You can also manually add, edit or delete any of these personal contacts through Safe Share's Contacts feature.
Click your email address at the top-right of the page and choose Contacts from the drop-down menu:
To manually add a new 'Contact':
Access the Contacts feature.
Click the top-left New Contact button.
In the dialog box, specify an optional First name and Last name and mandatory Email address fields.
Click Save to add your new Contact.
Tips and notes:
If another Covata user has shared an item with you, you can add them as a contact by highlighting the item and on the Details tab, clicking the Add to contacts button. Upon clicking this button, the item's owner is added as a contact and the button is removed. If you delete this contact (see below for details), the Add to contacts button re-appears on the Details tab.
Be aware that if your user account does not have the Originator role, then you cannot make use of this contacts list in Safe Share (unless a Covata Platform administrator grants your user account this role, which then allows you to share personally owned content). However, you can use this list to record the email addresses of people who (regularly) share content with you.
To edit an existing 'Contact':
Access the Contacts feature.
Click either the Edit or email address link associated with the Contact to be edited.
In the dialog box, edit the optional First name and Last name and mandatory Email address fields as required.
Click Save to update your existing Contact.
To delete an existing 'Contact':
Access the Contacts feature.
Click the Delete link associated with the Contact to be deleted.
The contact's email address will no longer be available for selection when sharing your content.
