6.G. Profiles

A profile is a partial configuration for a client. An existing configuration of a group or individual clients can be expanded or modified by assigned profiles.

A profile overwrites a specific part of a configuration when assigned to a group or client. A useful area of application for profiles is to implement a configuration change across groups without editing all group configurations.

A profile takes precedence over the group configuration and overwrites the corresponding values.

Profiles can be assigned to both groups and individual clients. This means that the configuration of an individual client can be changed within a group without having to create a subgroup for the client.
