Overview
The System User Card gives users easy access to recent documents or contacts that they have created or their Sales Representative may have created. The card is also beneficial for Administrators by allowing them to monitor and view permissions of users based on UDFs. Additionally, there is a Notes tab and User Defined Fields can be added for holding additional information for individual users.

In the Sales security group, you can see that users in the Sales security group only have the ability to see their own System User Card.
Locks
There are Locks for the System User Card, so if another user is currently viewing a card then the System User Card will be locked by that user and will be Read Only for other users.
