User profiles are created in order to bind a group of users with some similar characteristics. They can have common MX-Client overall appearance, information panel behaviour, culture settings, etc. Binding several users to a group and then defining these settings to a group is a significant relieve of work for system administrator.
Existing profiles are located in the list in section Existing Profiles. Profiles are grouped by the first character of its name. By default groups for the first three letters are displayed. To access more groups use configuration buttons at the bottom of the list.
To view the information about a specific profile, select it in the list. Information is displayed in the section General Information on the right part of the screen.
