#### What are RFID profiles?

RFID profiles are reusable policy templates that define how RFID cards can be used when assigned to other users.

Profiles help to ensure consistent charging behaviour – for example, whether a card may be used at invited charging points, within charging networks, within Hubject networks or at public charging points – and also enable rules to be set for maximum usage.

#### Configuration options for profiles

Profiles can include the following:

- Validity periods – The periods during which use of the card is permitted[![rfid profile- date.png](https://wiki.eponet.ch/uploads/images/gallery/2026-06/scaled-1680-/rfid-profile-date.png)](https://wiki.eponet.ch/uploads/images/gallery/2026-06/rfid-profile-date.png)
- Usage limits – The maximum amount of kWh that the authorised user is permitted to consume when charging at various charging points using the card (total of all charging sessions)

- Maximum spending limits – This limit applies to the total amount spent on charging sessions that the user can carry out using the card assigned to them.
- Charging cost liability settings – This setting determines which user (the cardholder or the user to whom the card has been issued) bears the charging costs for the charging session.
- Access restrictions for charging points – Can the authorised user initiate a charging session at the designated charging point using the card assigned to them?
- Company-specific charging policies
