Profiles control access to what you can do. For example, a user’s profile will determine whether or not they can access all accounts and contacts, certain types of matters, even time entries or any other object/tab at all, and if so, what are their permissions to view or edit these records.
A profile contains the settings and permissions that control what users with that profile can do within AdvoLogix and the Client Portal.
Navigate to Profiles
Click Your Name | Setup | Administration Setup | Manage Users | Profiles
Profile List View
You can choose to add a New Profile or click on the name of an existing profile to view/edit that specific Profile. Depending on which profile user interface is enabled in your organization, you can view and edit profiles in the original or enhanced profile user interface. You can also use a list view to edit multiple profiles.

You can edit all settings in a custom profile. In standard profiles, you can edit all settings except name, description, object permissions, field permissions, and user permissions.

In the enhanced profile user interface, the profile overview page provides an entry point for all of the settings and permissions for a single profile. To open the profile overview page, click Your Name | Setup | Manage Users | Profiles and click the profile you want to view.
From the profile overview page, you can:
- Search for an object, permission, or setting
