Entity Profile ID |
Auto-generated unique ID for the profile. |
Entity Profile Name and Entity Profile Description |
Enter a name and description for the profile. |
Profile Type |
|
Parent Profile |
Each profile may have a parent. A child inherits entities, and their settings, from the parent profile. Only one level of inheritance is allowed, so a profile can be a parent or a child, but not both. This avoids the potential for confusion and maintenance difficulty. Additional entities may be added on children, and entity settings may be overridden. |
Entity Name |
Select the name of the entity to be associated with this profile, from the list of entities defined in the registry. |
Entity View |
Select the entity view to be used for this entity in the context of this profile. |
View |
Click this link to see details of access based on the entity view. |
Hierarchy |
Click this link to see the complete hierarchy, starting from the specified entity, based on the current profile. |
At the end of the page, if you select Entity Profile, this allows the addition of all entities from another profile. Because this is a one time copy it can be done as often as you want.
If you select Entity Tree, you can add entities based on a parent entity being specified, tracing down the entire tree and adding data. This is a one time add, so it does not do maintenance.
