## Profile Guidelines
> This profile guideline is still evloving, feel free to propose improvment
**A common structure**
AppArmor profiles can be written without any specific guidelines. However, when
you work with over 1200 profiles, you need a common structure among all the profiles.
The logic behind it is that if a rule is present in a profile, it should only be
in one place, making profile review easier.
For example, if a program needs to run executables binary. The rules allowing it
can only be in a specific rule block (just after the `@{exec_path} mr,` rule). It
is therefore easy to ensure some profile features such as:
* A profile has access to a given resource
* A profile enforces a strict [write xor execute] (W^X) policy.
It also improves compatibilities and makes personalization easier thanks to the use of more variables
**Guidelines**
> **Note**: This profile guideline is still evolving, feel free to propose improvment
> as long as it does not vary too much from the existing rules.
In order to ensure a common structure across the profiles, all new profile should
try to follow the guideline presented here.
