Applying a user profile

A user profile is a set of attributes (login group and quota), user roles, permissions, and default user preferences that can be applied to users. (For more details, see Adding or editing a user profile.)

When you apply a user profile to an existing user, the information in the profile replaces any previous settings for the user.

After applying a user profile to a user, you can modify settings further for the user. (However, the changes are lost if you re-apply the profile.)

Note: Once you have applied a user profile to a user, there is no further association between the user profile and the user. For example, if the user profile is subsequently modified or deleted, users to whom the profile was applied are not affected.

1.         Click Settings

The Settings page appears.

2.         In the Manage Users section, click Edit Users.

The Users page appears.

3.         Click the row menu (Row menu) for the user, and then click Edit. You can edit only users in the same login group as you.

The Edit User page appears.

4.         Click Apply User Profile (which is available only if there are existing user profiles).

The Apply User Profile page appears, listing user profiles that are associated with your login group.

5.         From the User Profiles list, click a user profile to be associated with the user.

6.         Click Save.

Note: If you apply a user profile to a user who is currently logged in, any changes that you made to the profile affect that user the next time the user logs in.
