# User Profile Menu

The User Profile Menu component displays a user's name (or nickname) and profile picture. It also displays a dropdown from which users can navigate to their profile, open a case, access their locale and email notification settings, and log out. 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.

Each template comes with its own default user profile menu, which can be customized as needed. For example, for the B2B Store template, the link that buyers click to view their account record shows account information on the My Account page. All other templates display external user account information in the generic Record Detail page.

Users can’t customize the profile photo functionality in the profile menu. Instead, they edit all profile information from the profile details page.

Note If displaying a nickname 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. In the page you’re configuring, select the **User Profile Menu** component.
2. In the property editor, configure the properties for the component.

                    see. Configure sharing to 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>
