Configuring Avatar Settings

Overview

Enabling and configuring avatars lets users select avatars from the gallery and upload new avatars themselves. This article provides the procedure for configuring avatar settings.

With avatars enabled, users see a Change photo & avatar link in the Actions list of their profile page. Depending on how you've set up the feature, users are able to select from the set of avatar images or upload their own. For more information, see Managing Avatars.
