Profiles Section

The Profiles section is located under Settings > Profiles.

A table shows information about the configured profiles:

  • Name: The name of the profile. This is supplied by the user

  • Description: An optional description of the profile

  • Users: The number of users that have this profile assigned to them

  • Created by: The user who created the profile

  • Last Edited: The date and time when the profile was last modified

The three most recently edited or created profiles are highlighted at the top of the page.

You can filter the table to show all profiles, built-in profiles that come preconfigured with CloudVision, or custom-made profiles. You can also search the table for a specific profile.
