The general account options are visible to all users no matter whether you can change your username and password or not. However, some options are only available if the site administrator turned them on.

**Friends control**: Choose whether other users may add you to their friends list. If you are added to a friends list, the owner of that list is added to yours as well. When you remove someone from your friends list, you are also removed from their list automatically. Your settings options are:

28.

**Nobody may add me as a friend**: Other users do not see the option to add you as a friend.

29.

**New friends require my authorisation**: Before someone can add you to their friends list, you must give your approval.

30.

**New friends are automatically authorised**: You accept all friend requests automatically.

31.

**HTML editor**: An HTML editor is available for use in some sections of the site. This is known as a 'What you see is what you get' (WYSIWYG) editor. It allows you to apply formatting to your text like in a word processor. If the editor is turned off, you can only enter plain text without any formatting like making text bold or colorising your text. If you do not have this option, the site administrator may have disabled it.

32.

**Default license**: If the site administrator enabled **License metadata** in the :ref:`general site settings <general_settings>`, you can select your default license for your content that you create or upload. The default setting is "None selected", which means that you reserve all copyright.

33.

If your institution administrator requires you to specify a license, you must set a license other than "None selected".
