A user role profile is a template that contains permissions and settings. You can assign multiple user roles to a profile, allowing them to share the same settings while having different usernames.

What a role profile is

Use a profile when several roles should behave identically — configure the profile once and attach the roles to it, rather than repeating the setup for each.

  1. Open User Role Profiles

    On the blue ribbon, select Administration then User Role Profiles.

    Administration → User Role Profiles
