# help-with-umbracoo

10/02/2023, 10:03 AMI'm migrating user information from another platform into Umbraco. I can create the users programmatically but I can´t findo information about how to set the "Avatar" field. If we do it via the BO UI, the avatar name is saved under the avatar field in the user table, but I don't know where is the image.
Anyone with this requirement before?

So with the media file service you can save a stream into the "media" folder
e.g
Copy code
cs
mediaService.SetMediaFileContent(relativePath, stream);Kevin Jump
