User profiles
Other than guests, each user has a profile that contains information about them. We will first deal with the information that is stored for each user and how it is organized in Moodle.
You can view your own profile by selecting the Preferences item in the drop-down menu beside your name at the top of the screen. Click on the Edit profile link in the User account section to change your profile details. To modify the profiles of other users, click on the Edit icon beside their name by navigating to Users | Accounts | Browse list of users.
Profile fields
Moodle user profiles are divided into a number of categories, of which the first five cannot be changed via the Moodle user interface:
- General: Standard user fields
- User picture: Image of the user
- Additional names: Phonetic names, middle name, and alternate name
- Interests: Tags for social networking activities
- Optional: Additional user information
- User-defined: Newly created fields
