# Common profiles

> Common profiles

<Note>
  Changes done on **Profile** will only show in the old **SuperOffice Service** module, not in the Requests screen.
</Note>

Common profiles are linked to a [role][2] and apply to all users who have that role. You configure common profiles in the **Show profiles** screen.

## Profile types

* **System**: These profiles you can configure by following the procedure below.
* **System screens**: A list of screens created using the [system designers][1] in SuperOffice Service. You can change these if you have access to **System design** > **Screens**.

<h2 id="create">

</h2>

As an example, the following steps show how to add a field in the **Find requests** screen.

1. Select **System settings** > **Profile**. The **Show profiles** screen appears.
