What is the difference between a 'profile' and a 'role'?..

Answer / Shailja Singh

A profile defines the permissions, settings, and user interface that a user has access to in Salesforce. A role, on the other hand, is a set of shared permissions across multiple profiles. This allows you to manage permissions at the department or team level instead of for each individual user.
