Salesforce Terminology
Profile
A collection of settings and permissions that defines what a user can see and do in Salesforce.
Complete Definition
Profiles in Salesforce control a user's baseline access to objects, fields, tabs, apps, and administrative functions. Every user must be assigned to exactly one profile, which defines their default permissions. Modern Salesforce deployments typically use profiles for baseline access and permission sets for additional granular control.
