Creating user profiles

You can create a new user profile or edit an existing user profile using the User Profile dialog.

About this task

If you are creating a new user profile, you can assign the new user profile to a resource limits group from the same window. If you are editing a user profile you can change the resource limits group assignment to a different group. In either case, the resource limits group you select must already have been created.
