Before you start

A signed-in account.

Settings map

Settings is the control room for your account. It covers public identity, security, rating preferences, integrations, API keys, privacy choices, and creator-only options when your role allows them. If a setting is missing, it may be role-gated or disabled by current platform state.

Arc en Ciel settings page. — **Account settings** - Settings is the map for profile, security, integrations, API keys, privacy, and rating preferences.

Public profiles show the visible side of account settings - Use your public profile as the final check for display name, profile context, social links, badges, and whether your creator identity looks intentional.

Identity pieces

Profile: Public-facing account page and visible creator identity.
Badge: A visible marker earned from role, support, or platform state.
Namecard: The style treatment shown near your name where supported.
Social links: Public links you choose to attach to your profile.

Update account settings

Open Settings after signing in.
Update profile fields and social links that you are comfortable showing publicly.
Review badge and namecard options. Some options only appear when your role or earned badges allow them.
Review rating/adult-content preferences so browse pages match what you want to see.
Open Security for password, sessions, devices, or two-factor controls.
Open Integrations/API sections only when you need external tools or automation.

Profile hygiene

Separate public and private identity - Do not put private email, tokens, or local machine paths in public profile fields.
Keep links current - Broken social links lower trust for creator pages.
Review adult-content preferences after role changes - Staff or creator roles can expose more controls, but your viewing preference still matters.
