Before you can assign a security profile to a user, you must be logged in with an Amazon Connect account that has the **Users - Edit** permission, as shown in the following image. Or, if you're creating the user's account for the first time, you need **Users - Create** permission.

By default, the Amazon Connect **Admin** security profile has these permissions.
