Profile
The Profile module provides configurable user profiles.
Requirements
Comparison to user account fields
Why use profiles instead of user account fields?
- With profile, user account settings and user profiles are conceptually different things, e.g. with the "Profile" module enabled users get two separate menu links "My account" and "My profile".
- Profile allows for creating multiple profile types, which may be assigned to roles via permissions (e.g. a general profile + a customer profile)
- Profile supports private profile fields, which are only shown to the user owning the profile and to administrators.
Features
- Multiple profile types may be created via the UI (e.g. a general profile + a customer profile), whereas the module provides separated permissions for those.
- Optionally, profile forms are shown during user account registration.
- Fields may be configured to be private - thus visible only to the profile owner and administrators.
- Profile types are displayed on the user view page, and can be configured through "Manage Display" on account settings.
