# Profile Header

The Profile Header component displays a user's name (or nickname) and profile picture. It also displays a dropdown that lets users navigate to their profile, open a case, access their locale and email notification settings, or log out of the site. External users can also access and manage their account. If the user isn't logged in, a Login button appears in the header.

Note The User Profile Menu component replaces the Profile Header component in sites based on Winter ’18 and later versions of Experience Builder templates.

Users can’t customize the profile photo functionality in the profile header—they need to edit all profile information from the profile details page.

Note If nickname display is enabled in the site, this component shows the nickname instead of the user’s name. The user’s reputation level displays only if reputation is enabled in the site.

1. Select the **Profile Header** component in the page you're configuring.
2. In the property editor, configure the properties for the component.

                  <p style="margin-bottom:0;">By default, the template uses the

                    ensure that users see only cases that belong to them.
                    Alternatively, you can use another pre-defined list view
                    or create a custom list view.</p>
