Profiles are a set of users who share similar “Functions”. Profiles control which Features and Permissions those users have access to in GReminders. Think of them as “Permission Profiles” or “Security Profiles”.

Profiles allow you to easily apply permissions and functionality to a number of users with just a few clicks.

You can think of them as “Like Users” or perhaps as Departments, but it doesn’t need to be that way.

GReminders ships with two out-of-the-box System Profiles:

• Administrator
• Standard User

By default Administrator has “global permissions” to everything. It is likely you are the administrator if you are reading this post.

Standard User is a “normal user”.

However you may want to setup special Profiles for certain types of users. For example, you may have “Sales” users and “Non Sales Users”. Or you may have “Sales” and “Marketing” profiles.

Within Profiles you manage Permissions and Feature Access.

Permissions simply control the features that this profile (and related users) has access to. You can get very fine-grained in your permissions, whereby you can allow someone to view their client reminders, but not create new ones, etc…

User Assignments

You put Users INTO a Profile. ONE User can ONLY have ONE Profile. You can assign as many users as you want to a Profile, but just remember a single user can only be assigned to a single Profile.

It is best practice to keep your Profiles to a minimum, so you have less to manage. Only create New Profiles if you need to give different permissions/integrations or feature access to different Users.

Groups

Groups are used to Assign Managed Templates to a set of Users

One User can belong to one or many Groups. All Users always belong to an “Everyone” Group.
