Managing avatars

The Avatars application allows you to manage avatars stored in the system.

Creating predefined avatars

Predefined avatars are available to all users or groups.

1. Click New avatar.
2. Enter the following details:
   • Avatar name - the name of the avatar.
   • Avatar type - choose if the avatar can be used for users, groups or both.
   • Upload - click Browse to select an image file from your local machine.
3. Click Save to proceed.

The system saves the avatar. The avatar appears in the list. You can set the following extra properties of the avatar:

• Make it default for user - if enabled, this avatar will be the default avatar for users with an unspecified gender (including public visitors).
• Make it default for male - if enabled, this avatar will be the default avatar for male users.
• Make it default for female - if enabled, this avatar will be the default avatar for female users.
• Make it default for group - if enabled, this avatar will be the default avatar for groups.

Default avatars are assigned to new users or groups automatically when the user or group is created.

Changing user avatars

Site administrators can change the avatar of any user. Open the Users application, edit a user in the list and switch to the Settings tab. You can change the given user’s avatar in the User picture field as shown in the screenshot below.
