# Returns a RubyProf::Profile where 100 seconds is spent in UsersController#show
```
+For routes that require authorization you will need to provide a user to
+`Gitlab::Profiler`. You can do this like so:
+
+```ruby
+Gitlab::Profiler.profile('/gitlab-org/gitlab-test', user: User.first)
+```
+
+The user you provide will need to have a [personal access
+token](https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/user/profile/personal_access_tokens.html) in
+the GitLab instance.
+
Passing a `logger:` keyword argument to `Gitlab::Profiler.profile` will send
ActiveRecord and ActionController log output to that logger. Further options are
documented with the method source.
