# Configuring your devbox user profile

> Custom users for your devboxes

<Tip>Start with the [Runloop Quickstart](/docs/tutorials/quickstart) to use the examples below.</Tip>

Runloop Devboxes default to the user `user` in the home folder `/home/user/`. You can specify a different user when creating a devbox via `launch_parameters.user_parameters`.

Root is supported by natively as the following:

```
{
  launch_parameters: {
    user_parameters: {
      username: "root"
      uid: 0
    }
  }
}
```

Working example:

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python theme={null}
  devbox = await runloop.devbox.create(
    name="docs-template",
    launch_parameters={"user_parameters": {"username": "root", "uid": 0}}
  )
  ```

  ```typescript TypeScript   theme={null}
  const devbox = await runloop.devbox.create({
    name: 'docs-template',
    launchParameters: { userParameters: { username: 'root', uid: 0 } },
  });
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Devboxes also support non-standard users from created blueprints. See [Customizing the Base user](/docs/devboxes/blueprints/dockerfile-customization#customizing-the-base-user) for more information.
