User profiles provide detailed information about individuals in your organization. A user profile organizes and displays all of the properties related to each user, as well as documents and other items related to that user.

User profiles are presented to users in three distinct views. A user has a personal view of his or her properties and related items that only he or she can see. The public view is what users see when they view user profiles for other users. The edit view is what is seen when changes are being made to a user profile.

User profiles are managed from the Manage User Profiles page. Users with the Manage Profiles right can add, edit, or delete user profiles. They can also import user profiles from Active Directory directory service. Other users may or may not be able to edit some of the properties of their user profiles from their personal pages.

The Manage User Profiles page also contains a brief summary of user profiles for the site, as well as links for adding, editing, and deleting the properties found in user profiles.
