User settings

Users can configure their accounts in the Settings area of Elgg. A link to this area is always present in the topbar for easy access. Once in the settings area, users navigate to the various pages using the sidebar menu.

Your settings

The Your settings page has basic account options for e-mail address, password, and language. If an e-mail address is changed by a user, a validation e-mail is sent to ensure that the user owns the new e-mail address. English is the only language distributed with Elgg, but adding additional languages is discussed in Chapter 6.
