.. note:: If you are an administrator, you can also manage users and administer
   the server. These links do not appear to a non-admin user.

The options listed in the Personal Settings Page depend on the applications that
are enabled by the administrator. Some of the features you will see
include the following.

* Usage and available quota.
* Manage your profile picture.
* Full name. You can make this anything you want, as it is separate from your
  Nextcloud login name, which is unique and cannot be changed.
* Email address.
* Lists your Group memberships.
* Manage your password.
* :doc:`user_2fa`.
* :doc:`userpreferences`.
* Choose the language for your Nextcloud interface.
* Links to desktop and mobile apps.
* Manage your Activity stream and notifications.
* Default folder to save new documents to.
* Your Federated sharing ID.
* Social sharing links.
* Nextcloud version.
