U-M Google, Shared Accounts
Issue
How do I add or change a profile picture for my U-M Google Shared Account?
Resolution
Note: The U-M Google Shared Account must be accessed directly using the account's password to add or change the profile picture. This cannot be done through delegated access.
- Open a Google Chrome Incognito window (or a different browser's private window).
- Go to mail.umich.edu and log in to your Shared Account via U-M Weblogin using the account's uniqname and password.
- Do not log in using your personal uniqname and password.
- Go to myaccount.google.com after successfully logging into the account.
- Click your profile picture at the top of the page. (It may display initials if no picture has been set already.)
- Click Add profile picture (if no picture exists) OR click Change (if a picture is already set).
- Search for and select a picture from Google's list of available images, or select the "From computer" tab to upload a picture.
- Modify the picture if desired and click Next.
- [Optional] Select whether the profile image will be "Visible to anyone" or only visible to U-M Google accounts (i.e., "Your organization and people you interact with"), and click Done.
- Click Save as profile picture.
