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 the login of the person or of the person group to which the person belongs). 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
To create a profile:
1. Access the Profiles management pages.
*See "Accessing the User Management Pages".
2. In the Profiles tab, click New .
3. In the profile creation dialog box that appears, enter the Name of the profile.
*By default the Name of the profile is created in format "Profile-x" (x is a number that increases automatically).
4. Click OK.
The new profile appears in the All Profiles list.
You must:
• define profile UI access
*See "Managing UI Access", page 173.
*You can use configuration of UI access defined on an existing profile, see "Customizing an Existing Profile/Creating a Profile from an Existing Profile".
• configure the profile.
*See "Configuring a Profile".
