Guidelines for working with profiles

Following are some suggested guidelines for working with profiles.

  • Create and enable a default profile and a fallback profile before you create any other profiles for users and groups. For more information, see Setting a default or fallback profile.
  • Consider designating the most commonly used profile as the default profile.
  • Do not disable, delete, or disassociate profiles that users are actively using because it may disrupt their work. In particular, do not do so unless you have created and enabled a fallback profile that users with no other active profile can use to log on.
  • Associate one or more new profiles to a user or group before disabling or deleting all of their existing ones.
