Overview

Profile roles are set up through the Site Configuration and ProfileRoles Component. These roles establish permissions for the profile and determines which subsites and/or templates the profile page will be derived from. This configuration allows the same profile information to be used for multiple displays throughout the site.

Profile roles will differ depending on the purpose of the application. For example, if the profiles were implemented in an educational institution, 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
  • 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.
