# Portal Profile and Addresses
> Help customers review their portal profile, update supported account fields, manage billing and shipping addresses, and understand what still requires staff.
**Profile is not a full account editor**
Customers can update supported profile fields such as name, company name, and phone.
Email, tax ID, credit rules, account type, terms, and internal account settings should
still be handled by staff.
## Review Portal Profile
Customers open **Profile** from the portal sidebar. The page shows the
customer name, company, account number, contact fields, a save action, and an entry
point to email preferences.
**Do not promise portal password changes yet**
The current portal is primarily code and link based. If the password card appears,
do not promise it as the supported recovery path unless the customer auth setup has
been verified for that account. Use portal login code, magic link, or staff help.
## Review Portal Addresses
Customers open **Addresses** from the portal sidebar. Address cards show
shipping and billing labels, default badges, residential or commercial type, recipient,
address lines, edit action, default actions, and delete action.
## Add Or Edit An Address
Customers can add or edit an address, choose a label, enter a recipient name, enter
address fields, and mark the address as default shipping or default billing. Address
validation and autocomplete may appear when connector setup supports it.
## What Address Changes Affect
* **Default shipping**: guides future customer-facing shipping address selection when staff create or confirm orders.
* **Default billing**: guides billing address selection for invoices and customer records.
* **Commercial or residential**: can affect shipping service options, rates, validation, and delivery handling.
* **Deleted address**: removes the address from future selection, but historical orders and documents may still keep their original address.
**Staff should review sensitive changes**
If the customer needs to change email, tax information, credit settings, payment terms,
or account identity, update the account in Arcus staff screens instead of relying on
the portal profile page.
## Staff Checklist
1. Confirm address management is enabled before directing customers to edit addresses.
2. Confirm the customer is logged into the correct portal account.
3. Review staff account defaults when an address change should affect open orders.
4. Re-rate or review shipping when an address change affects destination, residential status, or carrier rules.
5. Use the customer account record for email, tax, credit, and payment-term changes.
## Common Blocks
* **Address will not save**: confirm required address fields are complete and validation is not blocking the address.
* **Default did not apply to an open order**: open orders may already have copied address details and may need staff review.
* **Customer cannot delete an address**: the address may be protected by current workflow rules or staff policy.
* **Email or tax ID does not change**: those fields may appear in Profile, but staff should update sensitive account identity fields.
* **Customer cannot sign back in**: use the portal login code or magic-link path instead of a staff login.
