Non-Admin users can't change their BackOffice UI culture

Is it possible for users that don’t have access to the “Users” section in the BackOffice to change the UI culture, or should they contact the admin and ask him to change the language for them?

Hi @yosef-mohammed

Unfortunately, out of the box this is a limitation of the permissions without providing full access to the users section.

A possible solution would be to extend the backoffice to create a custom section/dashboard that allows the user to edit their language and fire this to a mangagement api controller that can use the user service to programatically update the users language User Service | CMS | Umbraco Documentation

But I can imagine this is probably a bit overkill!

Hi Yosef :waving_hand:

This is a setting the users should be able to make themselves, in their profile…

(Unless I haven’t understood the question correctly?)

EDIT: Wow - I did not expect that to have been removed in v17, but it does look like it needs Admin permissions…

Hi @jawood1,
Thanks for the reply. The solution that you mentioned was the one in my mind, but just as you said, I think it’s time-consuming and too much engineering for not much value.

Thanks and regards.

Hi @greystate,
Just as you said in your edit, the users can’t reach their profile unless they have the permission for the Users BackOffice section.
Thanks for the answer.
