# Org: Shared Profile

You can share your main organization Profiles with Sub-Organizations to avoid duplication.

> 📘 Organizations Only
>
> A business account is required to use this feature.

# What is Shared Profile

This feature only exists inside the Main Organization. Any profile owned by it can be **shared** by toggling the option in Profile Options section. Once you do this, it will show up inside all your Sub-Organizations, allowing you to enforce it directly on Devices owned by a Sub-Organization.

## Why use this

You can use Sub-Organizations however you'd like, which can be just as a means of grouping Devices together. When creating Devices inside a Sub-Organization, you have to enforce a Profile on them. If you don't share the main organization profiles, you will have to make new Profiles inside each Sub-Organization, which may force you to duplicate them.

By sharing the main org's Profiles, you can avoid this duplication, and re-use the existing profiles you already have.

Shared Profiles will be denoted with a blue badge (as shown above) in the drop down menu when you create an Endpoint. **These Profiles will not show up in the Profiles section of the Sub-Organization, and cannot be edited by an admin of a sub-organization.**
