Master profiles allow more flexible access rights within the IGEL UMS as they can override the settings for standard profiles and have their own authorizations.

Master profiles are prioritized the other way around compared to the standard profiles. This means that a competing profile setting has higher priority the further away from the object the profile is:

TC master profiles

The following applies to master profiles:

Higher priority

than...

further away from the device

closer to the device

higher-level directory

sub-directory

Rule: Master profiles override all standard profiles.

The following graphic shows that the master profile setting overrides that of the standard profiles if the same parameter is pre-populated. Settings that are not double-populated are effective without restriction.
