# OOTB - Basic Profile Management

The OOTB - Basic Profile Management flow lets users update their account information. It can only be launched using the widget.

## Purpose

The OOTB - Basic Profile Management flow presents users with an option to update their account information. Users with an existing session are presented with a form that enables them to change the name and address associated with their account. The flow uses PingOne nodes to make the changes to the account.

## Structure

Diagram of the flow structure, as described below.

This flow is divided into sections using teleport nodes:

* **Check for Session**

  Uses a PingOne node to check for an existing session, then progresses to the **Update Profile** section if a session exists.

* **Update Profile**

  Uses a PingOne node to find the user. The flow then presents users with a custom HTML form that lets them enter updated name and address information. When the user submits this information, function nodes determine whether a new address was submitted, then PingOne nodes update the user's information with or without the address. The flow displays a success message on the custom HTML form, then progresses to the **Return Success** section.

* **Return Error**

  Displays an error message, then sends a JSON error message.

* **Return Success**

  Sends a JSON success message.
