You have to explicitly create your dynamic user profile based upon the
desired user profile
first.  Otherwise, it uses the "default_user" profile as the basis of the
dynamic profile.

; Use a non-default user profile as the basis of the dynamic user profile
exten = 1111,1,NoOp()
same = n,Set(CONFBRIDGE(user,template)=user_basic)
same = n,Set(CONFBRIDGE(user,pin)=123456)
same = n,ConfBridge(some_id,bridge_basic,,admin_menu_basic)

; Use the default "default_user" profile as the basis of the dynamic user
profile
exten = 2222,1,NoOp()
same = n,Set(CONFBRIDGE(user,pin)=123456)
same = n,ConfBridge(some_id,bridge_basic,,admin_menu_basic)

If you explicitly specify a bridge, user, or menu profile to ConfBridge
then that is what gets
used regardless of any dynamic profile you created.
