'''Note for Contributors'''
Most Moodle sites allow users to edit their profile. This is done by using the ''Settings > My profile  settings > Edit profile''. It is also possible for other [[Roles]] to edit a users' profile.
  This page should explain what can be seen on the <u>moodlesite.com/user/edit.php</u> page
when a user is editing their profile


To edit your personal information, click on "Edit profile", which you will find on the class page, under the “People” section.
Please see [[Add a new user]] for more information about profile settings.  


“Edit Profile” allows you to change information about yourself. If you click on this you will see a list of fields to fill in. Some of the fields are quite straightforward, which is why they are explained altogether.

*The capabilities [[Capabilities/moodle/user:editprofile|moodle/user:editprofile]], [[Capabilities/moodle/user:editownprofile|moodle/user:editownprofile]] and [[Capabilities/moodle/user:update|moodle/user:update]]


==Obligatory fields==
[[ca:Editar Perfil]]
 
[[es:Editar Información personal]]
===First name, Surname, Email address===
[[fr:Modifier mon profil]]
The first three fields are quite self-explanatory. Here you will write the basic information about you.
[[ja:プロフィールの編集]]
 
[[de:Nutzerprofil bearbeiten]]
===Email display===
This allows you to show or hide your email in the class. There are three options: you can set it so that all users (including guests) could see your email, or so that only other students in the class could see your email address, or so that no one could see your email address at all.
 
===Email activated===
You can either enable or disable the email address.
 
===Email format===
 
===Email digest type===
This setting allows you to choose how you want to receive any emails you get from forums.
There are three possible choices:
====“No digest”====
There is no email digest created – you will get every post, in full, that is made to a forum that you are subscribed to.
====“Complete”====
This creates a single email digest of all the posts made to a forum you are subscribed to. You will get one email per day containing all of the posts made to the forum.
====“Subjects”====
This creates a single email digest that contains just the subject lines from the posts to any forums you are subscribed to. You can go to any topic that you are interested in.
 
===Forum auto-subscribe===
This setting lets you decide if you want email copies of posts that are added to forums (bulletin boards). If you set this to subscribe, the system will email you copies of new posts in forums that you join.
 
===Forum tracking===
 
 
===When editing text===
This can usually be left on “Use HTML editor.” This allows for text formatting options, but requires newer browsers. If you find your browser is not letting you edit text, change this setting to “Use standard web forms.”
 
 
===City/town===
 
===Timezone====
 
===Preferred language===
 
===Preferred theme===
 
===Description===
This can be anything you like – “Teacher,” “Mr. Riordan – CVCA,” or any text you like.
 
==Optional fields==
 
There is a number of optional fields that can be filled in.
 
===Current picture===
 
===New picture===
If you wish, you may upload a picture to represent you. To do this, click on the “Browse” button and find the picture you would like to upload, and click on “Open.”
 
===Web page===
 
===ICQ number===
 
===Skype ID===
 
===AIM ID===
 
===Yahoo ID===
 
===MSN ID===
 
===ID number===
 
===Phone 1===
 
===Phone 2===

The last four are reserved for teachers only.
