> **IMPORTANT:** This guide only applies to customers with Signal Sciences accounts or with Signal Sciences accounts that are linked to Fastly accounts. If you only have a Fastly account, check out our information [about profile and security settings](https://www.fastly.com/documentation/guides/account-info/user-and-account-management/about-profile-and-security-settings) in the Fastly control panel instead.

The My Profile menu provides you with access to your personal profile information and settings as determined by the [role](https://www.fastly.com/documentation/guides/next-gen-waf/account-info/using-user-roles-and-permissions/) you have been assigned. The My Profile menu also provides you access to your [personal API access tokens](https://www.fastly.com/documentation/guides/next-gen-waf/developer/using-an-api-with-the-next-gen-waf/) for using the Signal Sciences API and a way to log out of the web interface.

Be sure you know how to [access the web interface controls](https://www.fastly.com/documentation/guides/next-gen-waf/getting-started/about-the-web-interface-controls) before learning about each of the pages you'll encounter there.

## About the My Profile menu
