Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Progress Dynamics Administration

Defining user profile data

User profile data consists of a two-level definition that includes profile types and profile codes that indicate the exact application function that you allow users to affect. A profile type is a large category of profile data that you treat as a group, such as Window. A profile code is a subcategory of profile data, such as SaveSizPos, which is a subcategory of Window.

You can also specify options in your profile definitions that determine if a profile type applies to client sessions only or also to server sessions, and whether the profile type is enabled (active) or disabled for an entire Progress Dynamics installation.

Note: Other than distinguishing between client and server sessions, you cannot restrict or assign profile types to specific session types that you define. That is, there is no relation between Progress Dynamics profile types and session types. The primary relation with Progress Dynamics profile types is a Progress Dynamics registered user. Progress Dynamics thus saves profile data for a Progress Dynamics user across all session types in which the user runs an application on the same Progress Dynamics installation.
