The [user profile](/v1/docs/profile-settings#access-your-profile) setting contains most relevant information for users. However, the client can add more profile settings fields according his/her necessities. ## What is a User Extended Property? User Extended Properties provide additional profile settings available to all user accounts. User Extended Properties setting allows Administrators to store additional information in user accounts. User Extended Properties display in the **Additional Information** section when [editing a user account](/v1/docs/edit-a-user-account). User Extended Properties are comprised of two parts: the JSON data variable name and the label. This JSON data variable becomes available as part of the user data object. The label displays in the **Additional Information** section. To configure User Extended Properties, visit the Admin **Settings** page, and then select the **Users** section and click on the Edit icon to open the Extended Properties management modal. For example, add User Extended Properties to attribute information for Human Resources, such as the hiring date, onboarding date, offboarding date, and office location for each user in the organization. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/2d311614-fcb7-4424-8b4c-d4d3091eebeb/Images/Documentation/e0cd18f8-cf9f-404d-bb6a-d0a26e505de5.png) User Extended Properties that are available to all user accounts Configure User Extended Properties from the **Users** section in **Settings**.
