As a case agent, when viewing a case, to view a user's person profile by clicking the user's name. The person profile provides details about the user like employment details, contact details, related cases and users, and so on. As a case agent, when viewing the profile for another user, you can:

• Add special notes or observations about the user—These notes are visible only to the submitter and users who have the Person Activity Read functional role. A case business analyst must explicitly provide this functional role to users who need to access the notes section of the profile. 
• Add related users with a relationship type — Add related users with an appropriate relationship type that defines how the users are connected. When you add a related user, the current user is added to the related user's profile as a related user with the reverse relationship. In addition to the out-of-the-box relationship types, a case business analyst can add custom relationship types. For more information about custom relationship types, see Adding a relationship type to relate users or cases.
