Creating and Modifying User and Role Profiles

The system administrator needs to create a user profile for every user. The user profile defines certain setup and display features, such as access to Fast Path, language, date format, or country code. The administrator should first create all of the role profiles that are needed for the enterprise. This action makes creating profiles easier; instead of defining specific environments, packages, and machine configurations to each user, administrators can define them for the role. If an individual in a role needs a different setup, you can assign different setups at the user level, which will override the role settings.

If you select a country code for a user, the menu filtering process displays for that user any special menu selections unique to that country code. For example, if you enter CA (Canada), that user would see the Canadian Tax Information application on the appropriate menu, which users without that country code would not see.

Important: If the Long User feature is enabled, you can use P0092L to set up user profiles with both short and long user IDs. P0092L contains the same features and functionality as P0092. Therefore, the steps for using P0092 in this chapter can also be used when working in P0092L. For information on how to enable the Long User feature, see Setting Up Long User IDs in EnterpriseOne.
