# Manage Your Couchbase Capella Account

> Couchbase Capella accounts are independent of organizations. 

Your Couchbase Capella account is your personal account that you use to sign in to the Couchbase Capella UI. Your account can be part of multiple organizations, and you can manage your account settings independently from your organizations.

To manage your Couchbase Capella account settings:

1. Click your initials in the upper-right corner of the Capella UI.
2. Click **My Account** to open your account management page.

In **My Account**, you can:

* [Manage your account's general settings](#manage-general-settings)
* [Manage invitations to Couchbase Capella organizations](#manage-invitations)
* [View the list of organizations where you're a member](#manage-organizations)
* [View the activity log](#view-activity-log)

> [!IMPORTANT]
> Users who sign in with SSO cannot change their name, email, password, or activate Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) settings.

To manage your profile's general settings and information, go to **General**. You can manage the following settings:

* [Profile name](#change-profile-name)
