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)
