'''Profile Updates''' is one of the simpler sections from Setup. It simply consists of 5 dropdown boxes, allowing you the Administrator to set whether users have the ability to update certain profile information or not, the fields you can set are;
*Forename
*Surname
*Date of Birth
*Nationality
*Month/Year in which course finishes.

The three options you have for these fields are as follows;
*Student Can Update
*Student Can Not Update
*Hidden From Student

As of August 2017 if you allow a student to update these fields, if the university provide an update which doesn't match, the information the student has set manually will override what the university sends. 
The reasoning for this is for example if people have preferred names, or for example in the case of a Trans student, if they have changed name, but haven't yet informed the university, then the university could change their name back in UnionCloud via data transfer to their '[http://gender.wikia.com/wiki/Deadnaming Dead Name]'. 
As such some of these fields you may want to carefully lock down for example, although you may want to allow them to change their name, you may not want them to change their Course End date, something which in most cases should only be set by the institution.

+However, it is highly recommended that you keep all fields to '''Student Can Update''' to align with GDPR regulations, if you switch off a student’s ability to update information about themselves you should provide another mechanism for them to update their data.
