An access profile is determines the access levels level(s) granted for menus in all modules. It determines what a user can see and accessmodify. While the access profile is for all modules as a whole, the permissions may vary from one module to another. For example, one type of access profile could provide complete read/write access to all windows found in a particular module while disallowing (actually, not showing) access access of any kind to the other modules.
The Access Level Settings window allows you to establish different access profiles by setting access permissions for each menu. The permissions range from 0 to 7 (the most restrictive) to 7 (the least restrictive, respectively). An access profile is then assigned to a user in the User Names and Access window. See Creating Create an Access Profile for more information.

Within a window, users' access to right-click commands and columns is determined by the level of access required and the each user's access level assigned to their profile:
