3.Profile can not be manually editable, but role can be manually editable.
4.In a profile we can not create the user menu, but in role we can create the user menu.
5.profile is the subset of role, but role is not the subset of profile.
6.profile can be created only for the transaction codes, but in role we can add tcodes,web addresses,and reports etc.
