Changing Your Account Settings

About this task

User account settings include the user name and email address. These settings are attributes of local users who are validated against credentials stored in webMethods API Gateway. If webMethods API Gateway uses an external authentication mechanism, such as an LDAP, you must change the equivalent settings in the external LDAP system.

When the administrator creates a user account and an email address for the user, that email address is set as the default email address for the account. If you have multiple email addresses, you can set up additional email addresses in the User settings page.
