No elevated permissions are required.

This article explains how live profiles help deliver structured SharePoint solutions to users within their everyday applications.

1. Enabling live profiles

Live profiles enable focused solutions and locations to be surfaced in the applications users are working in.

They personalize SharePoint for end users by organizing locations into a logical structure, independent of the underlying SharePoint architecture.

Live profiles leverage SharePoint metadata through a central register, search queries, and structured links to deliver a range of locations to users in Outlook, Microsoft Office, and document explorer tools—creating a seamless experience.

2. Administration client
