# User account
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When logged into their GitLab account, users can customize their
|
|
|
|
|
experience according to the best approach to their cases.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Username
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Your `username` is a unique [`namespace`](../group/index.md#namespaces)
|
|
|
|
|
related to your user ID.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can change your `username` from your
|
|
|
|
|
[profile settings](#profile-settings). To avoid breaking
|
|
|
|
|
paths when you change your `username`, we suggest you follow
|
|
|
|
|
[this procedure from the GitLab Team Handbook](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/tools-and-tips/#how-to-change-your-username-at-gitlabcom).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## User profile
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Your profile is available from the up-right corner menu bar (user's avatar) > **Profile**,
|
|
|
|
|
or from `https://example.gitlab.com/username`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On your profile page, you will see the following information:

|
|
|
|
|
|

You can edit your account settings by navigating from the up-right corner menu bar
|
