## Editing user email address

Frontegg allows users to update their email addresses through the self-service Admin Portal. This feature provides smooth account transitions while maintaining security, requiring verification of the new email address.

### Admin configuration

As an admin, you can enable or disable email editing at the environment level through the Admin Portal:

1. Go to the **Admin Portal**.
2. Click the **edit icon** on the **Profile** card.

3. Toggle the **Edit Email** switch to enable editing. This will make the edit icon visible next to the email address.
