Provide all User Profile data via API
Please provide at least GET API access to user profile data (Config -> User Management -> Roles and Registration -> Profiles). This should be full data: for each profile, include full roles and parameters.
Currently, there is no good way to export user profile data from Alma. It does not seem to be available in Analytics; it's not in any of the code or mapping tables available via "config" APIs.
We can use the Alma UI to export each profile to Excel individually... but that is not practical at scale, and the role data we can extract from Excel is not directly applicable / compatible with what's needed for the "user_role" data in the "user" APIs.
Having accurate and complete user profile data available via API would make it much easier and safer to manage our staff permissions programmatically.

We use an Analytics report to get all roles and assignees but it does not grab scopes / desks / parameters. That would be really helpful.
