Identity Menu (Avatar)

A dropdown, selectable list of all identities belonging to the user. The avatar of the identity you have currently selected will show as the identity menu logo and will have a green check mark in the dropdown menu. Identities with a yellow circle have changes that are “pending” (awaiting teacher approval). To switch between identities quickly, you can hover over this menu icon and click on any identity in the Identity menu dropdown. Click “Manage Identites” at the bottom of the dropdown menu to go to the My Identities page. From this page, you will be able to view, edit, or delete any your identities, or create new ones. See the Identities section for more information.

For more information on menus, see article "Navigating MySciLife."
