# Profiles

> Overview of the Profiles page in Admin Essentials for Itential Platform 2023.2 and earlier, including the Applications, Adapters, Configure, and Indexing tabs.

In Itential Platform 2023.2 and earlier, the **Profiles** page contains the **Applications**, **Adapters**, and **Configure** tabs, and depending on authorization settings, the **Indexing** tab.

The `iap_profiles` collection holds the active profile settings. Most configuration for the active profile happens within **Admin Essentials** > **Profiles**, but additional configuration can occur in the various Service Config interfaces and within the `properties.json` file.

## Applications tab

When viewing an active profile, the profile is marked by a circled check mark next to the profile name in the **Profiles** list. The **Applications** tab displays a grid with status information for each application and lets you stop, start, or restart each application as needed. This tab updates every 60 seconds while open.

## Adapters tab

The **Adapters** tab displays a similar grid, with a status indicator and connection icon for each adapter showing whether it is properly connected. This tab also updates every 60 seconds while open.

## Configure tab

The **Configure** tab lets you add or remove adapters and applications from the active profile by selecting or deselecting the checkbox next to each item. You can also edit profile properties from this view.

When a profile is selected for editing, its properties are displayed as a form.

Click the pencil icon in the top-right to edit the profile. If the profile is not already active, use the toggle to set it as active. Click the **More** button (stacked dots next to the pencil icon) to clone the profile or delete it if it is not the active profile.

## Indexing tab

To access the **Indexing** tab, a user must have access to the `getIndexes` method. With this permission, the user can perform all actions on the page, including directing Itential Platform to create indexes on the database.

Assign the `getIndexes` permission with care.

The indexing grid is accessible from the active profile only and displays a list of indexes present on the system along with their validity status.

| Column           | Description                                                                                                                       |
| ---------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Total Indexes    | The number of indexes that Itential Platform can see for the collection.                                                          |
| Current Indexes  | The number of indexes that match what Itential Platform expects and are properly indexed.                                         |
| External Indexes | The number of custom indexes found on the collection. Review these to ensure they do not conflict with Itential Platform indexes. |
| Status           | A symbol indicating the current index status.                                                                                     |

The **Run Indexing** button is available when an index is missing or misnamed. Running indexing can take anywhere from a few seconds to 30 minutes or more. While the process runs, a loader is displayed and the dialog polls periodically to check for completion. If the dialog is closed, polling stops and resumes when the dialog is reopened.
