Profiles System Authorization Requirements
The authorization requirements for the Profiles System depend on the method you use for programmatic access to the Profiles System. If you are using the objects in the Microsoft.CommerceServer.Profiles namespace, users must have specific permissions in order to work with the Profiles System. For more information about the specific roles in the Profiles System, as well as links to other topics that describe how to assign roles, see Profiles System Roles.
If you are using the objects in the Microsoft.CommerceServer.Runtime.Profiles namespace to work with the Profiles System, no specific authorization requirements are necessary.
