Profiles

As an administrator, you can assign a user to a profile to control the actions that the user can perform on an object. You can assign a user to multiple profiles and give the user a greater control over objects. Assign at least one profile to each user. When you install erwin ER360, Admin and Viewer profiles are available by default.

To add users, follow these steps:

1. Go to Application Menu > Profiles.
   The Profiles page appears.
   

2. Click Add Profile.
   The Create Profile page appears.
   

3. Select or enter values to the following fields:

   Field	Description

   Clone From Existing Profiles	If replicating an existing profile, specifies the source profile
   Permissions	Specifies the permissions that the profile has on erwin ER360 modules. If you have cloned an existing profile, apart from default permissions, you can edit the permissions according to your preferences. Note: Any dependent permissions for the selected permissions are selected too. For example, if you select the Create Entity permission, then Model Modify, ER Diagram Modify, ER Diagram Modify under Subject Area, and Key Group Create permissions are also selected.
