Profiles for Shared iPad
There are three types of profiles for Shared iPad.
The profile types Shared iPad - User and Shared iPad - Guest specify the mode in which the iPad is used. Which one you need depends on whether the iPad is used only by specific users or by an unspecified number of users.
You need at least one of the two, and you can also use both.
