# Membership profiles

Membership profiles enable you to define a group of [application memberships](/provisioning/api-reference/application_memberships.md) to be associated with a [membership](/provisioning/api-reference/memberships.md) so that each member of the profile is allowed to see and/or manage the related subset of [Dashboard apps](/provisioning/getting-started/applications.md).

{% hint style="warning" %}
Members that haven't an `admin` role cannot create, update, or delete membership profiles. The members of the profile can retrieve their membership profile.
{% endhint %}

## Granting access to the test environment

You can allow members of a selected profile to try the Dashboard apps with test data by setting the `test_enabled` attribute to `true` at the membership profile level. This way all the members of the profile will be able to work in the test environment for the Dashboard applications associated with the membership profile if the related application membership exists in test mode (a *live/test* toggle will be shown on the Dashboard).

{% hint style="info" %}
The `test_enabled` attribute can also be set for each single member at the [membership](/provisioning/api-reference/memberships.md#granting-access-to-the-test-environment) level. In case of conflicts, the settings of the membership profile have precedence over the ones of the single memberships.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
At the moment this feature isn't available for [custom apps](/provisioning/api-reference/api_credentials.md#creating-a-custom-dashboard-app) or [webapps](/provisioning/api-reference/api_credentials.md#webapp).
{% endhint %}
