Editing a Profile

Modify the settings of a user-defined profile in OS Management Hub.

Editing a profile doesn't affect instances that previously registered with the profile. To change instance settings after registration, such as attached software sources, do so directly through the service. For example, Attaching Software Sources to an Instance.

Note

You can't edit service-provided profiles.

  • On the Profiles list page, select the name of the profile. If you need help finding the list page, see Listing Profiles.

    Edit the name or description

    1. On the profiles details page, select the Edit button.
    2. Update the profile information:
      • Name: Enter a name for the profile. You can add or change the name later. The name doesn't need to be unique, because an Oracle Cloud Identifier (OCID) uniquely identifies the profile. Avoid entering confidential information.
      • Description: (Optional) Enter a description for the profile. Avoid entering confidential information.
      • If in the root compartment, you can optionally set this profile as the default.
