Creation of custom security profile

[Former Member]

Hi,

During creation of the security profile, there is field 'internal name' .

What is the significance of this field and how the internal name should be maintained. As this field becomes display once the security profile is created.

Pointers will be appreciated.

Hi Madan

Internal name is used by the system to identify a profile. While creating a new profile e.g. System Administrator_XYZ which is lets say based on the original system admin profile but with limited rights (to be given to a few users), you can extend the original internal name and extend it for e.g. fci.profile.admin.xyz

Hope this helps!

To add to Mudit's comment.....although system doesn't enforce this, from best practices standpoint, you might want to use naming convention "custom." or "z." for the custom security profiles.

All standard out of the box security profiles start with "fci."

Hope this helps.
