Before defining a user: profile concepts
To connect to HOPEX a user select the profile with which he/she wants to work.
This profile defines:
• the products accessible

If a user already has restricted access rights to products (see
"Viewing Login Characteristics"), the products accessible to this user are at the intersection of values of the
Command Line attribute of the user login and profile.
• the applications and the desktops which the user is going to access.
• the user's access rights to UIs (permissions)
Assigning a profile to a person defines:
• the repository concerned by the assignment
• the person's access rights to repositories with this profile assignment
• (optional, with read-only access to the repository) connection repository snapshot
• (optional) the validity period of the assignment
