# Exercise 1.1: Configure account settings
In this exercise, you’ll learn how to access various account settings and change them in GovCMS.
1. Navigate to *Configuration* → *People* → **Account settings**
This area allows users to login with a username or password and allows you to update the account creation process. Look at the “Who can register accounts” page and make sure you’re happy with the settings. To allow Job Seekers to register an account, change the setting to "Visitors".
On this page you can edit the automatic emails used for welcoming new users, account activation, password recovery, etc. Use tokens for setting email content. This is often overlooked, but it's a great way to provide a good first impression with new site members.
The screenshot below shows the email sent to trainees as part of the setup for a course. Change it to reflect an email you would wish to send to a newly registed Job Seeker.
{% hint style="info" %}
Tokens are specially formatted chunks of text that serve as placeholders for a dynamically generated value. For example, a token of \[title] will automatically place the content’s title in the field.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://salsa-digital.gitbook.io/govcms-site-builder/unit-1-functional-analysis/roles-and-permissions/exercise-1-2-configure-account-settings.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
