## Apply Master

### Master Profiles

You can export a master profile for another BMS installation. It is also possible to import a master profile that has been exported from BMS before.

To access the Apply Master dialog, open the “Profiles” menu in the Security directory tree and click on the “Apply master profile” submenu.

Note

A system may only have one master profile. The master profile is not part of the profile list, and you cannot change the master profile.

No matter if you are using a basic or a master installation, no user can have more access rights than those defined in the master profile. All new profiles are restricted by this limitation as well.

### Creating a new master profile

However, you can create a new master profile. Although the new master profile is displayed in the profile list, it will not effect the system that has been used for creating the profile.

To use a new master profile, you must export the profile first. Additionally, you are asked to enter the license-key for the target installation. How to export a profile, see section Exportable Profiles.

It is recommended to enter a unique export name for each individual target system.

#### Export without a license-key

If you do not know the license-key of the target system, do not enter a key and leave the field blank. This way, you can import the new master profile to any temporary master installation.

#### Export with a license-key

If you enter a license-key, the profile can only be imported to an installation that the license-key you have entered during export.

### Importing a master profile

You can import a master profile that has been exported by a BMS installation before.

Note

Importing a master profile with a license-key will automatically convert the temporary license to a full master license and remove the limited use of two months only.

To import a profile:

- Click on the Browse button and select an import file (the file extension is PRM).
- Click on OK in the Windows file selection dialog. The path of the selected file is displayed.
- Click on the Import button.
- If the Import has been successful, a message will be displayed. Click on OK to close the message window.
- Now the imported profile is listed in the Profile List dialog.

For more information about profiles, see sections Profile List and System-Administrator Tool.
