My Account

The my-account command backs the Redmine /my/account.json endpoint. It is the only user-write path Redmine exposes to non-admin users — anyone who can authenticate can update their own first name, last name, email, or notification preferences without admin help.

get Show your own account details, including api_key and custom fields.

update Update your own first name, last name, email, or notification preference.

How this differs from users me

users me returns the user record from /users/current.json — the same view another admin would see. my-account get returns /my/account.json, which additionally includes your API key and any custom fields on your profile, and is paired with the writable my-account update.

get

redmine my-account get [flags]

Aliases: show, view. Shows ID, login, name, email, admin flag, status, mail notification preference, API key (when populated), custom fields, created/last-login timestamps.

Flag	Description
-o, --output	Output format

update

redmine my-account update [flags]

Alias: edit. Updates your own account. Only flags you explicitly set are sent to the server — partial updates do not clobber other fields.

Flag	Description
--firstname	New first name
--lastname	New last name
--mail	New email address
--mail-notification	Email notification preference: all, only_my_events, only_assigned, only_owner, none

Works without admin

Unlike users update, my-account update does not require admin privileges — every authenticated user can change their own profile. Be sure the API key you’re using really belongs to the account you intend to modify.
