Manage your user profiles

When you register your computer with Chef 360 Platform, you create a profile that allows you to securely connect to and perform operations with Chef 360 Platform.

A profile defines the following:

a unique profile name
your Chef 360 Platform FQDN
a user role (either a system-defined role or a custom role)
a profile expiration date

You can create multiple profiles with different settings and you can assign one profile as your default profile.

List your user profiles

To get a list of your profiles, use the list-profile-names subcommand:
```
chef-platform-auth-cli list-profile-names
```

Default profile

The Chef 360 Platform CLIs create a default profile when you first register your computer with Chef 360 Platform. The CLIs use the default profile unless you specify a different profile with the --profile flag.

View your default profile

To see your default profile, use the get-default-profile subcommand:
```
chef-platform-auth-cli get-default-profile
```

Set a default profile

You can set a default profile.

To set a default profile, use the set-default-profile subcommand:
```
chef-platform-auth-cli set-default-profile <PROFILE_NAME>
```
Replace <PROFILE_NAME> with the profile you’d like to use as a default.
