To allow users to change the time zone in their profile, the feature flag `user_time_settings` should be enabled:
> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/issues/57654) in GitLab 11.11, disabled by default behind `user_time_settings` [feature flag](feature_flags.md).
> - [Enabled by default](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/29669) in GitLab 13.9.
> - [Feature flag removed](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/29669) in GitLab 14.1.
1.[Start a Rails console session](operations/rails_console.md).
1. Enable the feature flag:
This setting controls the local time displayed on a user's profile.
See [&280](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/280) for other planned features.
```ruby
Feature.enable(:user_time_settings)
```
NOTE:
If a user has not set their time zone, it defaults to the time zone [configured at the instance level](#changing-your-time-zone). On GitLab.com, the default time zone is UTC.
1. You should now be able to see the timezone dropdown in the users' **Settings > Profile** page.
1. Navigate to [your user settings](../user/profile/index.md#access-your-user-settings).
1. Select your time zone from the dropdown.
