Account
Account is your own settings, across every workspace you belong to. It is the last item in the sidebar navigation.
Profile
Section titled “Profile”| Field | Notes |
|---|---|
| Full name | What colleagues see beside your comments in Pealboard |
| Read-only here. Changing the address on an account is a sign-in question and goes through the sign-in screens |
Changing your password is not done from Account: select Reset your password on the sign-in page.
Linked GitHub
Section titled “Linked GitHub”Select Link GitHub to connect your own GitHub account to your Pealboard account. Linking is required before you can connect a GitHub organization to a workspace.
Once linked, select Link GitHub again if GitHub stops accepting the authorization Pealboard holds, or after the app’s permissions change. It runs the same connection again, without unlinking first.
Writes as myself
Section titled “Writes as myself”Once GitHub is linked, Writes as myself decides who GitHub shows as the author of what you write through Pealboard.
| On | The write goes out with your own GitHub token. GitHub shows you as the author, and the body carries no attribution block — GitHub already shows your face. |
| Off | The Pealboard App writes it. GitHub shows pealboard[bot], and the body carries a line reading “Opened by your name through Pealboard”, because no GitHub parameter sets the author of an issue. |
It needs a linked GitHub account: with no token there is nothing to write as, and the switch is not shown until you have linked one. The choice applies everywhere you write, in every workspace you belong to.
Changing it changes nothing already written. GitHub does not allow an author to be changed after the fact.
Linking your account is not the same as connecting the organization. The organization is connected once, by an admin, in Settings → GitHub; this is your own authorship and yours alone.
Unlink at any time. Everything already written stays as it is — GitHub does not allow an author to be changed after the fact — and everything after it is written by the app.
Sessions
Section titled “Sessions”Every device you are signed in on, with the browser and when it was last used.
Sign out everywhere ends every session, including the one you are using. It does not revoke API keys: they are not sessions and keep working. Signing out one session on its own is not available yet.
Delete account
Section titled “Delete account”Delete account ends every session, removes the linked GitHub account and
every membership, and empties the identity: your name becomes “a former member”
and your address is released, so the address you used is free to be invited
again and nothing can be sent to it. Type delete to confirm.
It is refused while you are the sole owner of any workspace, and the refusal names them — a workspace with no owner is unreachable by everybody, including its members. Hand the ownership over in that workspace’s Settings → Members, or delete the workspace, then try again.
Nothing in GitHub is touched. Issues and comments belong to the repository, and the attribution Pealboard wrote into a body is the record of who asked for the work rather than a copy of an account.
Not available yet
Section titled “Not available yet”Leaving one workspace while keeping the others is not available yet: ask an owner or admin to remove your membership in that workspace’s Settings → Members. Signing out a single session on its own is not available yet either.
