User Profile

Overview

A profile groups together users to determine their customer experience and permissions. Profiles get assigned to a user along with a role to determine what the user can see and do when they log into PeakCommerce. A role determines the user's general experience and view, whereas profiles customize the abilities and permissions on a much more granular level. For more information on roles, view Viewing and Understanding User Roles. 

Some examples of how to group users by profiles include: 

  1. Customers, Sales Reps, and Partners. 
  2. Different profiles for different currencies or languages. 
  3. VIP customers with more capabilities vs. standard customers with fewer capabilities. 

To manage Profiles, navigate to Users > Profiles.

Profile Actions

On the Profiles page, there are three actions that can be taken: Add, Edit, and View.

Add a Profile

To add a profile click the "Add Profile" button at the top of the section. All that is needed to start a profile is a name. From here the profile will need to be edited.

Editing a Profile

To edit a profile click "Actions" followed by "Edit" on the profile of choice

From here most of the settings in the 7 tabs can be modified by changing the bubble option. Not all settings are applicable to all roles. If the setting is not applicable to the role, it will not matter which option is selected. 

Viewing a Profile

To view a profile click "Actions" followed by "View" on the profile of choice. Viewing a profile brings up a similar display to "Edit Profile" but the settings are locked and may not be adjusted or updated. This is for viewing purposes only.
