Role-based templates for My Sites are custom templates designed for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007. The role-based templates enhance My Sites by tailoring them to satisfy the unique needs and requirements of specific roles within an organization. The templates extend the standard My Site functionality by providing a personal portal site and dashboard area with data relevant to a particular job role and displaying information in a way that is familiar, easy, and built around the way people in the company work. Currently, there are seven role-based My Site templates available.

You can download all of the role-based My Site templates as a single executable file (.exe) at SharePoint Server 2007 Templates: All Role-Based My Site Templates (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=91341).
