Profile (LPR) records allow the details of Hyperspace to differ for different users, particularly users with different specialties.

Profiles can link up to six different places to craft a user’s options within activities.
User-> user template-> security class User -> Dept User-> rev location User-> Service area User-> LSD -> Facility
Security class (ECL) records are collections of security points. Security points grant access to activities or functionality. Regardless of the type of security class, they are all about granting access to functionality.
T
Role (E2R) records configure Hyperspace. A user’s Role (E2R) record controls the startup activities, the buttons that appear on their main toolbar, the total number of workspaces a user can have open at once, and other settings.
T
Profile (LPR) records configure options within activities a user can access. If a user has the appropriate security point(s) to access an activity, the system looks to the profiles to determine how that activity looks and what options are available within that activity.
T
Security Trumps Profiles If you don’t have the security point to use an activity, then it doesn’t matter how your profiles are configured in regards to that activity. If you don’t have the security, you’ll never see or access the activity and the options within that activity are irrelevant.

Where Can Profiles Be Attached?
Like security class and role records, a profile record can be attached directly to a user template. That profile then affects every user record linked to that template. Unlike security classes and roles, which are only attached to a user or user template, profiles can also be attached to other records at different “levels”
Profile can be attached:
Levels to Accommodate Job Role or Duties
• User/User Template:
This is used for profile settings specific to a specialized group of users.
• EpicCare Security Class: This is used for profile settings common to people with the same job duties or scope of practice. For example: all ambulatory physicians or all pharmacy technicians.
T
Levels to accommodate location
• Login Department: This level is used to accommodate settings common to people who have different job duties but who work in the same department. • Login Rev. Location: This level is used mainly for settings shared by everyone who works in a particular hospital or clinic, regardless of their job duties. • Login Service Area: This level is used mainly for settings shared by everyone who works in a particular region or group of hospitals and/or clinics, regardless of their job duties. • System Definitions: System Definitions (LSD) is a place to make global, system-wide settings. This profile record applies to every clinical user in your system.
IB link report
Epic Button > Help > Help Desk Reports > SESSION INFORMATION – IB LINK
B Link report can show you which profiles are currently affecting a user.
Epic compiles settings across profiles on an item-by-item basis, not screen-byscreen. If you set a particular item on a screen in a user template-level profile but leave the rest of the screen blank, the system takes the one setting from the user template-level profile and looks to the other levels for the remaining settings.
