User Permissions Needed
To view profiles, and print profile lists: “View Setup and Configuration”
To delete profile list views: “Manage Profiles and Permission Sets”
To delete custom profiles: “Manage Profiles and Permission Sets”

When you create users, you assign a profile to each user. Profiles define how users access objects and data, and what they can do within the application. To view the profiles in your organization, from Setup, click Manage Users | Profiles.

Viewing Enhanced Profile Lists

If enhanced profile list views are enabled for your organization, you can use additional tools to customize, navigate, manage, and print profile lists.

  • Show a filtered list of profiles by selecting a view from the drop-down list.
  • Delete a view by selecting it from the drop-down list and clicking Delete.
  • Create a list view or edit an existing view.
  • Create a profile.
  • Print the list view by clicking Print icon.
  • Refresh the list view after creating or editing a view by clicking Refresh icon.
  • Edit permissions directly in the list view.
  • View or edit a profile by clicking its name.
  • Delete a custom profile by clicking Del next to its name.

    You can’t delete a profile that’s assigned to a user, even if the user is inactive.
