# Create User Profiles and Users for Automotive Cloud

Profiles define how users access objects and data, and what they can do within the application. Each person who uses the application is a User record. Automotive Cloud doesn't provide default profiles but you can clone any standard profile and customize it as required. You could create role-specific profiles, such as Dealer Sales Executives for all sales executives in a dealership. Keep in mind that each user can only be assigned one profile.
