If a user wants to change their email in the trading app, can the user change it directly in the settings with 2FA? Or should the user email our admin and we edit it on the Alpaca Broker Dashboard?

Kindly advise, thanks!

Hi @HowardLeong_START  
You can change it from user’s dashboard from this page:

> **[Alpaca | Crypto and Stock Trading API](https://app.alpaca.markets/user/profile)**
>
> Trade with algorithms, connect with apps, and build services with our easy to use APIs for crypto and stock trading.

@Radzi_Purba_LPCA

We are building a trading app, and we are wondering if there are any restrictions from Alpaca that disallow users to change their email in-app. Basically, as a tech partner of Alpaca, can we allow our users to change their email in the app, or do they have to email our admin for such changes?

Let me know if the question is clear. Thanks!

Hi @HowardLeong_START

aah ok, i thought you are asking for trading account.  
if it’s for brokerage account (your users), yes we are allow you to have that function in your app.

you can refer to this endpoint: `PATCH /v1/accounts/{account_id}`
