# Email Alias and Primary Address

Within the university's email system, users typically have access to multiple email addresses, known as **aliases**.

## Primary Email Address
The **primary email address** is the main address associated with the user account, used for outgoing mail and as the primary identifier in account settings.

## Management
Users can change which of their available aliases is designated as the primary address via the [[ums]] by navigating to:
**Mein Account $\rightarrow$ Einstellungen** (My Account $\rightarrow$ Settings).
