User profiles define individual PeopleSoft users. You
define user profiles and then link them to one or more
roles. Typically, a user profile must be linked to at least
one role to be a usable profile. The majority of values that
make up a user profile are inherited from the linked roles.
Note. It’s possible to have a user profile with no roles.
This might be a user who isn’t allowed access to the
PeopleSoft application; however, you still want
workflow-generated email sent to the user.
You define user profiles by entering the appropriate values
on the user profile pages. The user profile contains values
that are specific to a user, such as a user password, an
email address, an employee ID, and so on.
The user ID and description appear at the top of each page
to help you recall which user profile you are viewing or
modifying as you move through the pages.
