Creating a Profile
To be able to connect, a user must be connected to at least one profile (by assignment of a business role to the person, or by definition of a profile on login of the person). Users with the same profile share common characteristics (options, repository access rights, authorized products, read/write and read-only rights on objects).
A profile enables:
restriction of user access to certain products
definition of user repository access rights
definition of access in Multisession mode
