What is the difference Between Role and Profile

Answer Posted / ashley day

Profiles are the component of the older SAP releases, this
was not replaced in the newer versions but a new layer was
placed above Profiles, Roles.

Profiles are therefore a subcomponent of Roles, they have a
one to many relationship where when authorization objects
overflow one profiles limit it will create a second profile
for that Role and so on.

Roles are logically assigned to users to give the newer
functionality of Roles (Menus etc), but profiles are
assigned to give the authorizations.
