User Profile 

Use

The user profile is the set of user data that users and administrators can display and modify and includes attributes such as name, e-mail address, and language.

Prerequisites

Users can only display and modify their own user profile if they are assigned to a role including the UME.Manage_My_Profile action. In certain scenarios it can be advisable not to allow certain types of users to modify their own data.

Features

·        The user profile displays a subset of the attributes stored for a user.

·        The language defines in which language applications are displayed for a user. If a language is not explicitly defined for a user in the user profile, then the browser language is used. If the browser language is not set, then the server’s default language is used.

·        You can customize which languages are displayed for selection in the user profile. For more information, see Customizing the Set of Available Languages.

·        You can extend the standard user profile to include additional attributes. You can define different sets of attributes for administrators and users that are not administrators. The attributes appear under the heading Customized Information.

Activities

·        Administrators can display and modify the user profiles of any users that they are responsible for.

·        Users can display and modify their own data.
