# Adds or updates custom user settings for the specified user.

`PUT /v2.1/accounts/{accountId}/users/{userId}/custom_settings`

Adds or updates custom user settings for the specified user.

**Note:** Custom user settings are not the same as user account
settings.

Custom settings provide a flexible way to store and retrieve
custom user information that you can use in your own system.

**Important:** There is a limit on the size for all the custom
user settings for a single user. The limit is 4,000 characters,
which includes the XML and JSON structure for the settings.

You can group custom user settings when adding them. Grouping
allows you to retrieve settings that are in a specific group,
instead of retrieving all the user custom settings.

To group custom user settings, include the
`X-DocuSign-User-Settings-Key` header in the request:

`X-DocuSign-User-Settings-Key:group_name`

Where the `group_name` is your designated name for the group of
customer user settings.

When getting or deleting grouped custom user settings, you must
include the `X-DocuSign-User-Settings-Key` header information.

Grouping custom user settings is not required and if the `X-DocuSign-User-Settings-Key`
header information is not included, the custom user settings are
added normally and can be retrieved or deleted without including
the `X-DocuSign-User-Settings-Key` header.
