Profile ------- The *Profile* module provides configurable user profiles. ## Requirements * [Entity API](https://www.drupal.org/project/entity) ## 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.
