In the Configuration area, you can manage profiles. Currently, only managing standard and master profiles is possible. For more information on profiles and master profiles, see Profiles and Master Profiles.

Currently, the creation of profiles and the change of configuration settings are possible ONLY in the UMS Console. Settings activated for the newly created profiles as well as setting changes are displayed in the UMS Web App not immediately, but after the next reindexing, which is executed, in this case, with a one-day interval.

Master profiles have to be first enabled in the UMS Console under UMS Administration > Global Configuration > UMS Features, see Enabling Master Profiles.
