Part of the Profile ecosystem · 6 projects
The Profile module allows for the creation of different types of user profiles, which can be assigned to specific roles and displayed separately from user account settings. It also supports private profile fields visible only to the owner and administrators.
The Profile module provides configurable user profiles.
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.
- Profiles can optionally be revisioned.
Note: profiles are currently not translatable. See #2899744: Make Profiles Translatable.
