JPM_PROFILE_ACTION |
Enable profile actions by person or non-person profile component for each role. |
The Profile Actions field appears on the Classic non-person profile and person profile pages. It enables administrators, managers, and employees to perform transactions directly from the profile pages, as shown in this example:
Use the Profile Actions component to modify action descriptions and to control which Profile Management roles within the organization (Administrator, Manager, or Employee) have access to specific actions. This functionality enables you to hide or display profile actions according to your organizational policies. For example, if your organization does not use the Search and Compare Profiles transaction, you can hide this option for each profile role.

The Profile Actions field is available on the Classic person and non-person profile pages throughout the system. The following pages display the Profile Actions field.
