# Update thousands and decimal separators for a specified user

`PUT /gdc/account/profile/{userId}/settings/separators`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://secure.gooddata.com`
- URL: `https://secure.gooddata.com/gdc/account/profile/{userId}/settings/separators`
- Auth: none declared

Updates the thousands and decimal separators for the specified user.

 The separators define how numbers are displayed on the GoodData Portal (for example, `1'234,12` or `1.234,12`). By default, the thousands separator is set to `,`, and the decimal separator is set to `.` (as in `1,234.12`).

You must be a domain admin to update the separators for another user. If you are not a domain admin, you can update the separators only for your user.

The thousands separator can be set to `,`, `.`, `'`, or ` ` (space).

The decimal separator can be set to `.` or `,`.

The following combinations of the thousands separator and the decimal separator are allowed: 
+ `,` and `.` (as in `1,234.12`; this is the default)
+ `'` and `,` (as in `1'234,12`)
+ ` ` (space) and `,` (as in `1 234,12`)
+ `.` and `,` (as in `1.234,12`)
