Confluence Docs 3.0 : Profile Macro This page last changed on May 31, 2009 by ggaskell. The Profile macro displays a short summary of any Confluence user's profile on your Confluence page or blog. This is the same summary that appears in a Hover Profile, which appears whenever you mouse-over any user's name in the Confluence interface.
| The information contained within your own summarised profile can be edited via your User Profile view.

## Parameters Parameters are settings for Confluence macros that allow the user to control their content or presentation. The table below lists relevant parameters for this macro. Parameter names are displayed differently in the macro browser interface and in wiki markup. Below, parameter names used in the macro browser are indicated in Bold text, while their equivalents in wiki markup are indicated in (`bracketed`) text. If the latter is not shown, then in wiki markup, the parameter's name should be omitted and only its value should be added immediately after the colon symbol (`:`).
Parameter | Required in Wiki Markup? | Default | Description
