# The default agent profile must be an AL profile in the app
## Description
`IAgentFactory.GetDefaultProfile` assigns the Role Center and page customizations the agent UI-navigates. A profile built only in the client, or page personalization that was never exported, is absent after deploy. `Agent.PopulateDefaultProfile` still needs a profile ID that exists in the current module.
## Best Practice
Ship a `profile` object (and page customizations) in the app. In `GetDefaultProfile`, call `Agent.PopulateDefaultProfile` with that profile ID and `NavApp.GetCurrentModuleInfo`. Include UI-exported customizations as AL.
See sample: [`get-default-profile-lives-in-the-app.good.al`](get-default-profile-lives-in-the-app.good.al).
## Anti Pattern
Setting `TempAllProfile."Profile ID"` to a client-only profile, or skipping `GetDefaultProfile`. Detection signal: factory default profile ID with no matching `profile` object in the app.
See sample: [`get-default-profile-lives-in-the-app.bad.al`](get-default-profile-lives-in-the-app.bad.al).
