Typically, we create a profile after you install the product. Depending on which WebSphere Application Server product we have, you might create additional profiles.

(dist) We can create profiles using the Profile Management Tool or the manageprofiles command.

(iseries) The Profile Management tool is unavailable. We can use the manageprofiles QShell script to create additional profiles. We can also use the IBM Web Administration for IBM i GUI to create standalone application server profiles.

For the WAS Network Deployment product, we can create any combination of profiles.

Non-root users can create their own profiles so that they can manage their own application servers. Typically, non-root users manage application servers for development purposes.

We can delete profiles through the manageprofiles command or by other means if necessary. We might delete a profile if the configuration that specified in the profile is not what we want.
