# Groupware: Basic Settings

This source documents the general configuration options available in the **Groupware** settings menu provided by the **Universitätsrechenzentrum (URZ)**.

## Key Configuration Areas

### Profile (Profil)
The profile section contains personal user data. A critical technical characteristic is that this data is **read-only** for the user within the Groupware interface.
- **Synchronization**: Data is automatically pulled from the central authentication system.
- **Persistence**: Any manual changes made to the profile are overwritten by central values upon the next login.
- **Email Identity**: The email address displayed in the profile is the **Primary Email Address** as configured in the [[ums]].

### Email (E-Mail)
This section allows users to define the default behavior when composing new emails.

### Appearance (Erscheinungsbild)
Users can customize the visual and auditory experience of the platform:
- **Smileys**: Ability to toggle the display of smileys.
- **Sounds**: Granular control over notification sounds (e.g., disabling all sounds or specifically disabling sounds for new emails and reminders).

## Support Integration
The document reinforces that technical issues regarding Campus-IT are handled by the URZ via:
- The **Groupware Ticket System**.
- The URZ Hotline (extension **1420**).
