Site Navigation: Clients: Management Client profiles
Available functionality depends on the system you are using. See https://www.milestonesys.com/solutions/platform/product-index/ for more information.
Management Client profiles allow system administrators to modify the Management Client user interface for other users. Associate Management Client profiles with roles to limit the user interface to represent the functionality available for each administrator role.
To associate a role with a Management Client profile, go to the Info tab in the Role Settings. See also Info tab (roles). Management Client profiles only handle the visual representation of system functionality, not the actual access to it. To limit the overall access to system functionality for a role, go to the Overall Security tab. See also Overall Security tab (roles).
It is important that all roles, to have access to the Management Server, enable the Connect security right, located in Role Settings > Management Server > Roles settings.
You can change settings for the visibility of all Management Client elements. By default, the Management Client profile can see all functionality in the Management Client.
- To limit visibility of functionality, clear the check boxes for the relevant functionality in order to remove the functionality visually from the Management Client for any Management Client user with a role associated with this Management Client profile
Apart from the built-in administrator role, only users associated with a role that has been granted Manage security permissions for the management server on the Overall Security tab, can add, edit, and delete Management Client profiles.
Add and configure a Management Client profile
If you do not want to use the default profile, you can create a Management Client profile before you can configure it.

- In the Add Management Client Profile dialog box, enter a name and description of the new profile and click OK.

Copy a Management Client profile
If you have a Management Client profile with settings that you would like to reuse, you can copy an already existing profile and make minor adjustments to the copy instead of creating a new profile from scratch.
- Click Management Client Profile, right-click the profile in the Overview pane, select Copy Management Client Profile.
- In the dialog box that appears, give the copied profile a new unique name and description. Click OK.
