Chapter 3 Managing User Profiles : Creating and Accessing a User Profile

Creating and Accessing a User Profile
User profiles are used to store login defaults for a particular user ID. A user profile contains information about the operational parameters, the TIBCO Object Service Broker password, the login parameters, the printer options, and the application development parameters for a specific user ID.
Specialized user profiles are created and maintained for security administrators. Refer to Chapter 4, Managing Security Administrator Profiles for more information.
Who Can Access a User Profile?
A user profile can be accessed by the following people:

If you are security or system administrator, you can create or access the profiles of the security administrator’s subjects.
