== Overview ==
==Full (site) profile==


For users with appropriate access rights within the Browse list of users area, clicking on the name of user will take you to a tab based summary view of a user's profile information. The user profile page gathers together all the known information about a particular user including detailed reports and logs regarding the activity of that user.
Depending on what the user has added to their profile, this  gives information such as first and last access, general interests and links to individual course profiles. Users may be messaged from the button at the top of their profile.


You may also see a link for each course you or the user belongs to.  If you are viewing your profile or are an administrator clicking on these links keeps you on the user's profile but alters the breadcrumb menu so you can quickly jump to that course.
A manager or anyone with the capability [[Capabilities/moodle/user:viewlastip]] will also see a link to the IP address from which the user last accessed Moodle.
