- | Each Voucher, Permanent User and BYOD Device will have a profile attached to it. Profiles are used to control the behavior of the RADIUS client through which a user (Voucher, Permanent User or BYOD Device) connects to the network. | + | A profile is assigned to each voucher, permanent user and BYOD device.

+ | ===== Profiles and Profile Components ===== | ||
+ | * Each profile can consist of zero or more profile components. | ||
+ | * Profile components can be considered as small functional blocks or groups | ||
+ | * For example, you can have a profile component that limits the bandwidth of a user's connection. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Simple Edit ===== | ||
+ | * The Profile applet contains a simplified editing interface where you can select which restrictions you want to make in the profile. | ||
+ | * When you save it, the system creates the profile with its profile components based on the elements selected in the simplified editing interface. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== FUP Edit ===== | ||
+ | * The Profile applet also contains an interface for editing Fair Usage Policies (FUP) | ||
+ | * This should be used if you want to implement Fair Usage Policies. | ||
+ | * The FUP functionality is covered on a separate page for advanced users. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Advanced Edit ===== | ||
+ | * The advanced editing option allows you to manually add or remove profile components from a profile. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Clouds and Profiles ===== | ||
+ | * A profile is usually part of a cloud (owned by a cloud). | ||
+ | * However, it is possible to make a profile system-wide. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ===== System Wide check ===== | ||
+ | * If you have logged in to RADIUSdesk as the root user, there is a System-wide checkbox that you can activate. | ||
+ | * If you activate it, the profile becomes available in all clouds. | ||
