# Profile

As administrator you have the ability to add profile fields which the user fill out, to complete their profiles.

## Creating Profile Fields

Simply go to WP admin - Users - Profile Fields and you can add custom profile fields.

Profile fields can be grouped into Profile Field Groups. To create a profile field group :

![WP admin - Users - Profile Fields](/files/-MK5CISh4ynOz6sH3jVA)

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Primary Field Group & Field**

There is a primary field group and a primary field. Do not delete these under any circumstances. These are 2 values which are used internally by BuddyPress. The Primary field group is also displayed on BuddyPress registration page that you set at WP admin - Settings - BuddyPRess - Pages - Register ( requires WP Admin - settings - general - anyone can register )
{% endhint %}
