A profile object allows you to define the user experience (main page) of a particular user profile. You can create a profile object with the AL Language extension by using the tprofile snippet.

A profile object is defined as in the following example:

profile "SALES MANAGER"
{
  Caption = 'Sales Manager';
  ProfileDescription = 'Functionality for sales managers';
  RoleCenter = 9005;
  Enabled = false;
}

Here, we have defined a profile called Sales Manager, which uses the RoleCenter page with ID = 9005 (standard Sales Manager role center object in Dynamics 365 Business Central).

To deploy a profile object from your extension, I recommend creating a Profile folder in your AL project and, inside that folder, placing all the .al files that define your profiles.
