<p><strong>Profiles</strong> are an easy way to enable or disable features for users in the portal. For example if your portal is going to be used for internal employees and external customers.  A Level 1 administrator can disable the Personal area for customers e.g., mail, personal calendars, documents, etc. while allowing the internal employees to have access to mail, the desktop, and all personal sections. </p>
<p>The combination of this function and group memberships can provide a customized view/access for different audiences within your portal. There is no limitation on the number of <strong>profiles</strong> an administrator can create in a portal.</p>
