PT Profile Roles

Overview

The profile roles are setup through the Site Configuration and ProfileRoles Component. These roles establish the permissions of the profile and what subsites and/or templates the profile page will be derived. This allows the same profile information to be used for multiple displays through out the site.

This will differ for the purpose of the application. If the profiles were implemented in an educational institution, then roles could be 'student', 'faculty', and 'staff'. If implemented for healthcare, the roles could be 'doctor', 'surgeon', 'nurse', and 'staff'.

Configuration Points

• /SiteName/_cs_apps/config/ptProfile.xml
  • See the Site Configuration for details on updates for additional roles.
• ProfileRoles Component
• [optional] /ADF/apps/pt_profile/customcf/profile_manager.cfm
  • Profile Manager script iterates over the profile roles to display what the logged in user has permissions to access/view. To make a new role render, this needs to be updated manually.
