student or employee
This is not a base profile but a context profile. You use work or study devices next to personal devices. How do you keep work, study and personal life truly separated?
IT professional and sysadmin
This is a context profile for people with privileged access. You manage other people's systems and are therefore a target because of the access you hold, not only your own data.
