  Key Concepts: 
  A functional profile is a set of permissions that are assigned to a user in SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation (EPM-FC). It defines the tasks and activities that the user can perform within the system. The functional profile is used to control access to certain features and data within the system. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Functional profiles are created and managed by an administrator. The administrator can assign different functional profiles to different users, depending on their role and responsibilities. For example, a user with a “Data Entry” profile would only be able to enter data into the system, while a user with an “Administrator” profile would have access to all features and data. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating functional profiles, it is important to consider the user’s role and responsibilities. Assigning too many permissions can lead to security risks, while assigning too few permissions can limit the user’s ability to perform their job.
