User is for authentication purpose, its just an entity.
Profile is a collection of settings and permissions that determine what a user can do in the platform, kind of like a group in a Windows network, where all of the members of the group have the same folder permissions and access to the same software.
A profile can be assigned to many users, but a user can be assigned to only one profile at a time.
Roles: primarily control a user's record-level access permissions through role hierarchy and sharing rules
