Shared host profiles specify which operating systems, clients, application protocols, web applications, 
and protocols are allowed to run on target hosts across multiple white lists. That is, if you create multiple 
white lists but want to use the same host profile to evaluate hosts running a particular operating system 
across the white lists, use a shared host profile. Note that the default white list uses a special category of 
shared host profiles, called built-in host profiles.

You can create, modify, and delete shared host profiles. In addition, if you modify or delete any of the 
built-in shared host profiles, or modify or delete any of the built-in application protocols, protocols, or 
clients, you can reset them to their factory defaults. For more information, see:

After you create a shared host profile, you can add it to multiple white lists. For more information, see

shared host profiles. You have two options:
