# Configure User Settings

Each user can define their own user settings, so that a user's preferences do not affect other users. The user can change the following information (bottom left icon on any page):

* **Details**: Change the name, email, password, etc. They can also set their status as active or away, which enables the user to appear active or away in incidents, tasks, etc. The status can also be set by typing **`setYourselfAs`** in the command line.
* **Preferences**: Set the default landing page, theme, timezone, date format, etc. You can Set the Default Theme for New Users.
* **Notifications**: Configure which notifications to receive and through which channels. You can receive notifications for a variety of events related to incidents, playbooks, and to-do tasks, as well as system notifications such as marketplace content updates. By default, all of the notifications in all of the categories (My Incidents, My Playbook Tasks, My To-Do Tasks, Other Notifications) and all available notification channels (Email, Mobile, etc.) are selected.

1. Click your user profile.
2. Click the relevant tab and select the items you want to change.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/xsoar-6-administrator-guide/6.12/onboard-cortex-xsoar/onboarding-in-cortex-xsoar/users-and-roles/user-management/configure-user-settings.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
