Abstract
Profiles inherit properties from parent profiles. Changing the parents of a profile adds, or removes, configuration and provisioning information to the profile.
Overview
Profiles can inherit configuration data from one, or more, parent profiles. When you change the profile's parents you will alter the configuration settings imported into the profile. Adding a parent profile adds all of the new parent's information to the profile. If you subtract a parent, its information will be removed form the profile.
Warning
Changing a profile's parents will affect any deployed container that is currently using the profile.
