Configuration Profile
Network admins create and manage comprehensive configuration profiles, including device details and connection protocols (SSH/Telnet), for efficient device setup and control.
This is a privilege-based feature: The user can access, view, add, edit, delete, execute, and export only if the administrator has granted them privileges.
