User page

User center tab

User center shows the details of user, including Username, Email, Phone, Real Name and User ID.

Application credentials tab

Application credentials provide a way to delegate a user authorization to an application without sharing the user password authentication. This is a useful security measure, especially for situations where the user identification is provided by an external source, such as LDAP or a single-sign-on service. Instead of storing user passwords in config files, a user creates an application credential for a specific project, with all or a subset of the role assignments they have on that project, and then stores the application credential identifier and secret in the config file.
