Assigned Profiles

After you add the profiles, you assign them to the product connections that the administrator created. You will not be able to work with any of the products until you assign a profile to that connection. For each product connection listed on the Assigned Profiles page, you can see which products are installed on it (if any) and which profile is assigned to it (if any). This is specific to the user you are logged on as.

The profile you assign to a product connection determines your authorization to the products on that system.
