# Customizable User Settings

The Customizable User Settings component enables your users to customize their site settings.

![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-experience-communities-264-0-0-production-enus/bf7df212-91a1-4fa3-a007-4d6f3e3b470b/images/icon_note.png)

Note The Customizable User Settings component replaces the User Settings component, which was deprecated in Winter ’21.

The customizable user site settings include changing language, locale, and time zone so that the site is localized appropriately. A user can also see their username, change their email or password, and deactivate their account. Users can choose to show their profile details to guest users who aren’t logged in to the site. They can also choose to receive email based on events in the site. If users don’t want to receive email about events in the site, they can disable email notifications. You can customize the labels on many of these fields.

1. Select the **Customizable User Settings** component on the page.
2. In the property editor, configure the properties for the component.

For orgs where Single Sign-On (SSO) is enabled, consider hiding the Change Password link on a user’s My Settings page.

- In Setup, create a permission set, for example Single Sign On Link.
- In System permissions, set “Is Single Sign-On Enabled” to On.
- Assign the permission set to appropriate users in your org.

The “Change password” page no longer appears on their My Settings page.
