====== Principles of RADIUSdesk Profiles ======

===== Introduction =====

A profile is assigned to each voucher, permanent user and BYOD device. 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. This includes the following points:
  * Limiting the bandwidth.
  * Limiting the total data available over a certain period of time, e.g. a monthly data cap.
  * Preventing the user from connecting before a certain date.
  * Preventing the user from connecting after a certain date.

===== 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.
