### Account information

Contains account information, such as the name, email, and vault status. Privileged and external tags can be added when creating or editing users via the web interface of [Devolutions Server](https://docs.devolutions.net/server/web-interface/account-menu/) or Devolutions Cloud (depending on your workspace). They are useful for temporary users, such as ***contractors***. An expiration date must be set.

#### User preferences

***User preferences*** allow users to customize the visibility of entries and manage interactions with PAM accounts.

* ***Cloaked folders***: Allow users to hide specific folders from their navigation pane on per-workspace basis (not available for local workspaces). Cloaked folders can still be accessed from the navigation pane's search bar by clicking on the ellipsis (***...***) button, then ***Navigation options***, and ***Show cloacked folders***.
* ***Hide achieved entries***: When checked, this option will hide any archived entries in the tree view.
* ***Hide disabled entries***: This checkbox, when selected, will hide any entries that are currently disabled.
* ***Hide expired entries***: By selecting this option, users can hide entries that have expired.
* ***Automatically check in PAM account when closing entry***: Set how Remote Desktop Manager interacts with a PAM account when closing an entry. Choose ***Always prompt, Check-in automatically*** or ***Don't check-in automatically***.
