+# User account
+
+When logged into their GitLab account, users can customize their
+experience according to the best approach to their cases.
+
+## Username
+
+Your `username` is a unique [`namespace`](../group/index.md#namespaces)
+related to your user ID.
+
+You can change your `username` from your
+[profile settings](#profile-settings). To avoid breaking
+paths when you change your `username`, we suggest you follow
+[this procedure from the GitLab Team Handbook](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/tools-and-tips/#how-to-change-your-username-at-gitlabcom).
+
+## User profile
+
+Your profile is available from the up-right corner menu bar (user's avatar) > **Profile**,
+or from `https://example.gitlab.com/username`.
+
+On your profile page, you will see the following information:
+
+- Personal information
+- Activity stream: see your activity streamline and the history of your contributions
+- Groups: [groups](../group/index.md) you're a member of
+- Contributed projects: projects you contributed to
+- Personal projects: your personal projects (respecting the project's visibility level)
+- Snippets: your personal code [snippets](../snippets.md#personal-snippets)
+
+## Profile settings
+
+You can edit your account settings by navigating from the up-right corner menu bar
+(user's avatar) > **Settings**, or visiting `https://example.gitlab.com/profile`.
+
+From there, you can:
+
+- Update your personal information
+- Manage [private tokens](../../api/README.md#private-tokens), email tokens, [2FA](account/two_factor_authentication.md)
+- Change your username and [delete your account](account/delete_account.md)
+- Manage applications that can
+[use GitLab as an OAuth provider](../../integration/oauth_provider.md#introduction-to-oauth)
+- Manage [personal access tokens](personal_access_tokens.md) to access your account via API and authorized applications
+- Add and delete emails linked to your account
+- Manage [SSH keys](../../ssh/README.md#ssh) to access your account via SSH
+- Manage your [preferences](preferences.md#syntax-highlighting-theme)
+to customize your own GitLab experience
+- Acess your audit log, a security log of important events involving your account
