How to limit the number of profile per user(2.10.1)

I hope each user can only set one profile. Because in the Web UI page, the configuration file will automatically generate a new one each time, which is easy for users to misoperate.

Hi do,

There is no configuration for that at this time as far as i know... at best you might be able (untested) to disable autogenerating profiles so only an admin can create one. But then the user cannot download it anymore and it must be provided by the admin user.

There is also no reason to prevent users from generating multiple profiles - they'll all work, and it's safer as it's unique per download/device. What exactly is the problem you are trying to avoid?
