Profile

Definition

A profile is the link between a user and a project. It carries the project role, the period during which access is active, and the invitation status.

Status

A profile has 2 statuses. To be active, a profile must have:

• ACCEPTED invitation status
• Permanent or in progress usage status

Invitation status

Possible values:

• INVITED
• ACCEPTED
• REJECTED

INFO

There is currently no email notification for invitations. The invited user discovers the invitation on their first login or during a subsequent visit to the application.

Invitation lifecycle

When a PROJECT_ADMIN invites a user, the invitation goes through the following lifecycle:

INVITED ──► ACCEPTED
        └─► REJECTED

The invited user accepts or rejects the invitation from their profile view. Upon acceptance, the profile becomes active.

Usage status

Its state is derived from its dates.

Start date is in the future	UPCOMING
Today is between start and end dates	IN_PROGRESS

Access dates

A profile can have its own access dates (start and end). These are optional. If not set, the profile is full-time available.
