The user config options are: Long Name, Short Name, and Is Licensed. User config uses an admin message sending a `User` protobuf.
## User Config Values
### Long Name
A personalized name for your device.
Auto-generated by default.
If you are a licensed HAM operator and have enabled `IsLicensed`, this should be set to your HAM operator call sign.
### Short Name
A personalized short identifier for your device.
Auto-generated by default.
### Is Licensed (HAM)
If you are a licensed HAM operator and have considered the [privileges and restrictions](/docs/faq/#what-is-the-benefit-of-using-my-ham-license-with-meshtastic) of using Meshtastic with a HAM license, enable this flag.
Disabled by default.
By enabling `IsLicensed`, you should also review the following related configurations:
- **User:** `LongName` (Should be your Call Sign)
- **Channel:** `PSK` (Should be Empty, removing encryption)

Because the device will reboot after each command is sent via CLI, it is recommended when setting multiple values in a config section that commands be chained together as one.
