Profiles are user records without connections to persons. 

You can assign specific rights to the profiles and allocate the profiles to users.

1. Login - you need to enter a name for the new user profile
2. Password - although you cannot login with a user profile you have to enter a password because this field is mandatory in the user record.
3. Person - if you create a user record via user master data, a connection to a person isn't possible.
4. Function - selection of the function. Each function has its own default rights that the profile will inherit through the allocation.

1. Restrictions: Like in "normal" user records you can set restrictions on bookable length and cancellation budgets for the profile.
2. User Profile: On initial save the user record is tagged as "user profile".

In rights management you assign specific rights to the user profile.

This is what a usable profile might look like.

The profile is assigned to the user in user master data. The user will inherit all rights that are allocated to the profile. 

Please note: the function of the profile overrules the function of the actual user!
