Master profiles have to be first enabled under UMS Administration > Global Configuration > Misc Settings, see Enabling Master Profiles.


The aim of introducing master profiles is to be able to reproduce the more complex system of rights management for UMS administrators in very large or distributed environments.

Important profile configurations can now be assigned to all registered thin clients on a priority basis without having to revoke the rights of other administrators to manage other settings or profiles.

Most Important Features of Master Profiles

  • Master profiles are identical to standard profiles in terms of their effects, but are prioritized differently. For more information, see Order of Effectiveness of Master Profiles.
  • Master profiles are profiles whose settings override all standard profiles.
  • Master profiles cannot be overwritten by standard profiles.
  • Master profiles have their own section in the IGEL UMS structure tree.
