A user profile is a set of changeable options that affects the way your application runs. You can set user profiles at different levels. The levels used by the standard Security hierarchy type are as follows:
Site level: These settings apply to all users at an installation site
Application level: These settings apply to all users of any responsibility associated with the application
Responsibility level: These settings apply to all users currently signed on under the responsibility.
User level: These settings apply to individual users, identified by their application usernames.
Values set at a higher level cascade as defaults to the lower levels. The lower level value overrides the higher level value, unless otherwise specifically mentioned.
Suggestion: Set site-level options first to ensure that all options have a default. If a profile option does not have a default value, it might cause errors when you use windows, run reports, or run concurrent requests
The table below indicates whether users of the system can view or update the profile option, and at which levels (either user, responsibility, application, or site) the profile options can be updated. These levels are included in the table as Site, Application, Responsibility, and User.
For the User column, Yes indicates that you can update the profile, View Only indicates that you can view the profile but you cannot update it, and No indicates that you can neither view nor update the profile.
A Required profile option requires you to provide a value. Otherwise, the profile option already provides a default value, so you only need to change it if you do not want to accept the default.
For details of profile options applicable to all Oracle Applications, see: Profile Options in Oracle Applications Object Library
