Generally, your system administrator sets and updates profile values.
See: Setting User Profile Options
You can govern the behavior of many of your forms using user profile options. Profile options can be set at the following levels:
Site: This is the lowest profile level. Site level profile option values affect the way all applications run at a given site.
Application: These profile option values affect the way a given application runs.
Responsibility: These profile option values affect the way applications run for all users of a given responsibility.
User: These profile option values affect the way applications run for a specific application user. The values you enter for options at the User level supersede the values that your system administrator has entered for you for these options.
The values that you enter for these options at the user level supersede the preset values that your system administrator has entered for you for these options.
