Security profiles

A security profile is a group of permissions to connect to an external service. It contains settings depending on the authentication method and interface.

The security profile permissions in BIS let users perform specific tasks in BIS.

The following permission sets are available:

• TI-BIS-ESSENTIAL
• TI-BIS-USER
• TI-BIS-ADMIN

For more information, refer to Permission sets for BIS.

The account and authentication method are stored in these profiles:

• BIS Users: can view and use security profiles, but cannot access their setup.
• BIS Admins: can view, create, and set up security profiles.
