public class Profile
extends ProfileDescription
```
A user profile defined in an application component. A user profile is a mix between a role and some privileges. The name of the profile denotes the name of the role. If the application can describe any role it supports, even new ones, Silverpeas does support only a set of predefined roles, all of them represented in the SilverpeasRole enum. To these roles are automatically mapped some privileges which are all hard-coded and based upon access rights conventions in Silverpeas (for example the SilverpeasRole.READER role has read-only access to the contributions). So, when a user profile is defined for an application, a mapping between this profile with one of the predefined user profile in Silverpeas is required; if no mapping is provided, then by default the name of the profile should match the name of a predefined profile. The mapping of profiles are applied between those of the parent space and the instances of the application component; so only a subset of predefined roles in Silverpeas is concerned by the mapping of profiles: see InheritableSpaceRoles to have a look of them.
