# How to enable user signatures in Drupal 7

Another of the account settings you can enable for your users is the ability to use signatures. Many admins leave this off for spam prevention purposes. However, if you have a good hold on your visitors or a specific group you can trust, you can certainly enable this ability for your users. Turning on the user signature ability is a breeze in Drupal &. Just follow these steps.

**Enabling the user siganture ability in Drupal 7:**

1. [Log into the admin dashboard](/support/edu/drupal/how-to-log-into-the-drupal-admin-dashboard/).** **
2. ****On the top menu bar, locate the **Configuration** option and click on it.[![_main-dashboard-configuration](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/edu_Drupal_7_Configuration__main-dashboard-configuration.png)](/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/edu_Drupal_7_Configuration__main-dashboard-configuration.png)
3. This brings you to the main **Configuration** category screen.
