Your personal account spans all workspaces you belong to. Profile settings, language preferences, and login credentials follow you everywhere, while each workspace maintains its own team dynamics and permissions.
Account Setup
Dify Cloud creates your account automatically on first login. You can use GitHub, Google, or email verification. Accounts with matching email addresses are automatically linked.
Community Edition requires email and password setup during installation. The administrator account is configured when the system is first deployed.
Multi-Workspace Access
Your personal account can belong to multiple workspaces. Each workspace has its own team, applications, and billing, but your profile remains consistent across all of them.
Switching Workspaces: Use the workspace selector in the top-left corner to switch between workspaces you have access to.
Workspace Independence: Your role and permissions are set per-workspace. You might be an Owner in one workspace and a Member in another.
Profile Management
Update your profile information in Settings → Account → Profile. Changes apply across all workspaces you belong to.
Profile Picture: Upload a custom avatar. This replaces the default initials-based avatar and appears in all workspaces.
Display Name: How you appear to team members across all workspaces. Choose something that helps teammates identify you.
Email Address: Your primary login credential and unique identifier. Changing your email affects all workspaces using the old address.
Language and Interface
Display Language: Available languages include English, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. This setting affects interface elements but not your application content.
Change Language: Click your avatar → Language, then select your preferred language.
Login Methods by Edition
| Edition | Login Methods |
|---|
| Community | Email and password only |
| Cloud | GitHub, Google, Email with verification code |
Account Linking: Dify Cloud automatically links accounts with the same email address. If you sign up with GitHub using [email protected], then later use email verification with the same address, the system recognizes them as the same account.
Security
Cloud Users: Leverage social login (GitHub/Google) for enhanced security. Review your chosen provider’s security settings and monitor login activity through their platform.
Community Edition Users: Use strong, unique passwords and change them regularly. Don’t share login credentials with others.
Cross-Workspace: Your personal settings follow you everywhere, but remember that each workspace has its own security model and permissions.
Changing your email address affects all workspaces. If you want to change the email for just one workspace, consider having that workspace invite the new email as a separate user account.
