i would love to cut and paste from this PDF doc, but it's
security-protected to disallow that. however, here's the money quote:
"Each user can create several user profiles for business or personal
use."
i'm still reading but i've seen nothing yet that supports that
interpretation.

That language isn't clear to me either. The following things cross my
mind as possibilities:
* Bash login profiles. This doc is an example of describing these as
user profiles:
http://linux-training.be/security/ch04.html
* LDAP directory user entities, groups (roles) and profile/directory
metadata, assuming the *nix system tied to an LDAP for authentication
* Mail client profiles (ex. I have separate business and personal
identities defined in Thunderbird)
