# Introduction

CreateProfile is one of the SOAP actions the Schematized Storage Service provides.

Creates a profile.
Seen when responding to a GetProfile request without a <ExpressionProfile> in the response.

The client will then request a ShareItem action with the new profile resource ID.

# Client/Request

The template used in this action is described on the Schematized Storage Service main page.

# CreateProfile

This element has only one attribute:

• xmlns: This is always set to http://www.msn.com/webservices/storage/, followed by the version of the schema.

# profile

This element has only one child:

• <ExpressionProfile>: Described below.

# ExpressionProfile
