# Property Control

The Property control provides a convenient way to incorporate user profile property management actions into your Page Flows, such as creating, setting, and getting profile properties on users and groups. For example, use the Profile control to retrieve a user's profile, use this control to put properties in working memory, then use the Rules Executor Control to evaluate and filter the user's profile properties in order to trigger actions based on that evaluation.

Security: For profile management actions, the roles you specify in the WebLogic Administration Portal Authentication Security Provider Service determine whether or not the user can perform the action for users and groups. For example, to let users modify their own user profile, make sure the "Self" role is in "Roles That Can Update Users" (which is already a default setting).
