Standard profiles can be created and edited by administrators to define what parts of the user interface (for example, actions, tabs, and attributes) should be visible to a participant. By associating participants with a standard profile, the user interface reflects the settings in the profile for that participant.

Each user or group can be associated with one or more standard profile. The least restrictive settings for visibility are assumed. For example, if a user is associated with two standard profiles where one standard profile hides an action, but another standard profile allows visibility of that action, then the user will see the action. If one standard profile allows read only visibility to an attribute, but another gives full rights to that same attribute, then the user will have full rights to the attribute.

Changes that are made to standard profiles take effect after the user subsequently logs into the system.

For more detailed information about profiles, see Managing Profiles.

The out-of-the-box standard profiles displayed in the Standard Profiles table reside in the site context and can only be edited by site administrators. For a description of these profiles, see Out-of-the-Box Profiles.
