# Device Profile Save node

Persists collected device data to a user's profile in the identity store.

Use this node with the [Device Profile Collector node](auth-node-device-profile-collector.html) to reuse the collected data in future authentications; for example, with the [Device Match node](auth-node-device-match.html) and [Device Location Match node](auth-node-device-profile-location-match.html).

You must establish the identity of the user before attempting to save to their profile.

A user profile can contain multiple device profiles. Use the Maximum Saved Profiles property to configure the maximum number of device profiles to persist per user. Saving a device profile with the same identifier as an existing entry overwrites the original record, and does not increment the device profile count.

The Access Management UI **does not** display saved device profiles to end users.

You can manage device profiles over REST, by using the `/json/users/user/devices/profile` endpoint for the realm.

Use the AM API Explorer for detailed information about the parameters supported by the `/devices/profile` endpoint, and to test it against your deployed AM instance.

In the AM admin UI, select the Help icon, and then go to API Explorer > /users > /{user} > /devices > /profile.
