Managing User Profiles

A member profile is each user's personal identity page inside your community. It helps members introduce themselves, share social links, and build trust through visible activity. This guide explains how members can update their own profile and how admins can manage profiles from the back end.

Use Case: A member wants to update their bio and social links before joining active discussions, while an admin needs to verify that account and keep its access status set to Active.
