Understanding User Profile Setup

Use the User Profile Revisions (P0092) application to set up user profiles. When you set up profiles as a system administrator, you create "group" profiles (using roles) and user profiles for each user in the system. You also determine the environments that are available for each group and user, and set up display preferences, such as language.

Important: If you are setting up user profiles during the installation process, you must sign in to the deployment server using the deployment environment. After you have completed the installation process, you can add or modify user profiles from any machine except the deployment server.

These steps outline the high-level process for setting up user profiles:

1. Create all of the role profiles for the enterprise.

   See Setting Up Roles.

2. Create a user profile for every user.

3. Assign to each role or user these preferences:

   • Environments, to determine the environments that you want to be available to each role or user. Environments are assigned at the role level only.

   • Display preferences, to determine JD Edwards EnterpriseOne display characteristics such as language, date format, and country code.

     The Display preferences are controlled on the User Profile Revisions form.
