1. set the profile as active or inactive
2. add SQL queries to define the condition
3. allow the user to update the profile at different levels

{% hint style="warning" %}
Profiles specific to the platform characteristics can be created only by the administrator using the admin URL of the platform. You can only view these profiles, and not edit or duplicate it.
{% endhint %}
