Creating and Managing Profiles
You can dynamically control which actions are visible to a user, group of users, or users in an organization by associating that information with a profile. Profiles are not an access control mechanism; they are a user interface control mechanism. A profile represents a typical category of user within a company and is based on the roles and privileges associated with that particular user category.
Profiles expose only the necessary functionality and information needed by a user. This creates a focused and simplified user interface, reducing confusion by eliminating areas of the user interface that could be distracting.
For more information about profiles, see Profile Management.
