Add Fields to User in Drupal 7
I remember hearing that you could add, edit and arrange fields for storing user data in Drupal 7, but initially couldn’t figure out just where to do this. This pretty much does what the Profile module had done in previous versions.
Just go to:
Configuration > People > Account Settings
Then click on the Manage Fields tab, and then just manage the fields just like you would for a Content Type.
It’s so simple. If you feel that you need more features than what’s provided in core, the Profile 2 module seems like something worth checking out.

Je cherche depuis hier. Et c’est simple!!!
Exit Profile2 module
Note that if this tab isn’t showing on your Account Settings screen, then it’s probably because you have the “Field UI” module disabled. Enable it and then you’ll be able to use the page shown in the screenshot.
Thanks for your post on adding more fields to the user account page in drupal 7, I was actually on that page but still did not see the tab untill I read your post.
Thanks
Thanks, that help alot. Both you and Cyde
Thanks for the tip with enable Field UI
Hi , can you tell me where these extra fields are stored? what table? thanks
I’m pretty sure field_data_field_FIELDNAME and field_revision_field_FIELDNAME tables is where they’re stored.
Thanks, just posting the configuration menu path saved me a whole heap of digging.
Awesome man, thank you! So simple but could have wasted hours and installed many modules.. I thank you for taking the time and posting this.
Wanted to say thanks as well. Would have spent a decent amount of time fiddling with settings.
