System and method for role based dynamic configuration of user profiles

A data processing system implemented method for role based allocation of security by profile configuration, comprising:

• customizing a profile, wherein the profile is associated with an application having a plurality of functions;
• receiving a request for the application;
• and
• selectively downloading a subset of available functions of the application based on the profile into a computer, for subsequent execution by a user after the subset of available functions of the application has been downloaded.

A data processing system implemented method for role based allocation of security by profile configuration, comprising:

• receiving a request for an application from a user;
• checking a plurality of profiles for a profile, wherein the user is assigned to the profile;
• accessing one of the plurality of profiles;
• accessing a system action based on the one of the plurality of profiles;
• defining an executable application program based on the system action;
• and
• transferring the executable application program to the user.

A data processing system implemented method for role based allocation of security by profile configuration, comprising:

• receiving a request for an application from a user;
• iteratively checking a plurality of profiles for the user's profile, user group's profile, and default profile;
• accessing one of the plurality of profiles based on the iterative checking;
• accessing a system action based on the one of the plurality of profiles, wherein the system action invokes particular functions of the application;
• and
• transferring the system action to the user.

A data processing system for role based allocation of security by profile configuration, comprising:

• means for creating a profile for a user;
• means for associating the profile with the application;
• means for determining a level of functionality of an application, the application having multiple levels of functionality, based upon the profile;
• and
• means for downloading the determined level of functionality of the application into a computer, for subsequent execution by the user after the determined level of functionality of the application has been downloaded.
