> [!TIP]
>
> **Choose your Environment wisely!**
>
> When creating a new User Profile, the first thing you need to specify is if the user is a **Test** or **Live** user. You can create a user as 'test user' by checking the option - 'Make it a test user'.
>
> **This cannot be changed later or at any point in the future.**

The fields present in the form are:
