# Configuring profile management options

Configure the profile management experience and specify the template file for the profile management page.

## About this task

Using the administrative console, configure the user registration in the local identity profiles section.

## Steps

1. Go to **Authentication > Policies > Local Identity Profiles**. In the **Local Identity Profile** window, using the tabs, configure the user registration page settings.

   ### Choose from:

   * If you want to give users the option to delete their local accounts without administrator assistance, select the **Enable Profile Deletion** checkbox.

     This checkbox is not selected by default.

     If enabled, when users choose to delete their accounts, their user records are removed from your directory.

   * If you want to use a different template file, update the **Registration Template** field.

   The default value is `local.identity.profile.html`.
