  • What it does

    Profiles (module jrProfile) provides profiles and quotas, the base that every profile module builds on. It comes with Jamroom and can't be removed. A profile is the public page that holds a member's items. A quota is a group of profiles that share the same settings. A user account can manage several profiles, and a profile can have several users.
