Your Moodle Profile page can be viewed only by certain other individuals. For example, learners cannot view each other’s profiles, but an Trainer / Teacher can view the profiles of the learners enrolled in a course they are teaching.
Profile settings also impact privacy to some degree. You can choose to hide your email address from others, or choose to upload a photo to display when you contribute to a forum.

Before you begin:
Required Knowledge: Moodle
1
Navigate and log in to your Moodle site
2
From the User menu (top-right), select Profile. Your Profile page opens.
3
On your Profile page under User details, click Edit profile (at right). The Edit profile page opens.
4
On the Edit profile page, we recommend you consider the following settings:
- Email display:
The Email display dropdown menu lets you choose to:
• Hide your email from everyone (learners cannot hide emails from teachers, but this will hide it from other learners).
• Allow everyone (in Moodle) to see your email (This can’t really happen, but the setting is there).
• Allow only people in your courses to see your email (default). - User Picture:
Click the User Picture heading to upload a picture of yourself that will display in discussion posts and message screens.
5
To save changes to settings, click Update profile. You’ll be returned to your Profile page.
Note
Hiding your email address does not prevent Moodle from sending you emails; it prevents other Moodle users from seeing your email address.
