What are Profiles and how do I configure them?
A Profile is a place for each user to display his or her Badges. Users can also write short, plain-text descriptions of themselves in the About Me field. Domain Administrators can enable User Profiles and modify their visibility settings by going to Domain Control > Applications > Features. You can also view Profiles through the Accounts area of the domain control.
Note: Parent accounts do not have User Profiles.
