Within a certificate, a specific User ID is designated as the [Primary User ID](https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-openpgp-crypto-refresh-10.html#name-primary-user-id).

Each User ID carries associated preference settings, such as preferred encryption algorithms, which is detailed in {numref}`zooming_in_user_id`). When a certificate is used in the context of a specific identity, then the preferences associated with that identity component are used. When a certificate is used without reference to a specific identity, the preferences associated with the direct key signature, or the primary User ID take precedence by default.
