For our IBM Technical Support Organization (ITSO) migration we choose five 

different profiles specified by their unique names 

default

, 

Redbook

, 

ITSO

, 

Designer

, and 

Administrator

, and corresponding configuration directories 

/etc/kde profile/[Profile Name]. In Table 5 1 you can see the meaning of these 

five profiles we are using in our test scenario. 

Table 5 1   Profiles and their meanings

Profile

Role

No specific role, default

Redbook

Redbook writers

ITSO

ITSO staff

Designer

ITSO staff with designer tasks

Administrator

Be nice to that person!

In the next step we have to assign profiles to our users and groups. You can use 

the graphical KDE Kiosk Admin Tool for that task (see Figure 5 3 on page 94) or 

just edit the configuration file by hand (see Example 5 2 on page 93):
