About
The Personalprofile module provides the ability to create a My Profile page in the Video Portal. Each user has a unique, publicly viewable profile where they can see and update their info (based on admin settings).
Admins can control which fields appear and are editable, customize the profile header, and allow users to switch groups with the 'groupChange' feature.
