NOTE:
Regardless of the allocated resource groups, data placement profiles created by another user can
also be referenced in the list of profiles. However, operations that can be performed on such profiles
are restricted based on the allocated resource group and role. Therefore, specify profile names and
descriptions to make it clear which operations are available.
