The Desktop Manager allows +you to view and assign profiles to the various elements of an organization's or domain's +hierarchy. Profiles are applied when a user starts a desktop session or an application +that is managed by the Desktop Manager. All the profiles relevant for the user or +the host running the application are retrieved, and their settings are integrated +with the local defaults of the application and the user's custom settings. Profiles +can be used to provide a set of centrally managed defaults to the application or to +enforce mandatory settings.</p> +<p>Terms you should know:</p> +<ul><li><p><A NAME="indexterm-1"></A><i>Configuration Repository</i>: The organization and domain +tree container, together with the profiles stored in it.</p> +</li> +<li><p><A NAME="indexterm-2"></A><i>Domain</i>: An element in the domain tree.
