Adding a new profile role is a valuable piece to the profile application. To add a new profile role:

1. Update the Site Configuration with the new role. Add a new tag under the <ROLES> tag with the name of the role. Next, you'll add the SUBSITE_ID and TEMPLATE_ID tags.
2. Populate SUBSITE_ID by creating a new subsite for the profile pages and update the ID in the configuration file. See the Subsites wiki page for additional details.
3. Populate TEMPLATE_ID by creating a new template for the profile pages and update the ID in the configuration file. See the Profile_Template wiki page for additional details. (Note: This step is optional - you can also use one template for all profile roles.)
4. Depending on the complexity of your roles and how many sites are implementing the profile app, you can either update the ProfileRoles Component with the new roles.
   1. To update the ProfileRoles.cfc:
      1. Locate the '/ADF/apps/pt_profile/components/profileRoles.cfc' file
      2. In the setRolePermission function, add a new case statement for the role name. Add your logic to set the roles permmission.
