These connection profiles are created by users in z/Scope Anywhere's user interface. They are distinguished in the start page by a small user icon in the top left corner of their connection button:

 

 

The private connection profile is associated to the user and only shown to them. Anonymous access can't be define for this kind of profile. The user can access their private connection profile from any computer. The user can edit this connection profile completely or delete it, whereas shared connection profiles will only show some options for the end user to edit.

 

Shared Connection Profiles

 

These connection profiles are created by an administrator in the 'Connections' section of the z/Scope Anywhere Configuration Manager. They are distinguished in the start page because they don't have a small user icon in the top left corner of their connection button:
