Assign to Profiles
In the Assign to Profiles step, you can select the standard profiles to which a user should be added as a member. License profiles cannot be added at this step, instead extend license profile membership to users by adding them to the license group that is a member of the license profile.
Standard profiles allow the site and organization administrator to dynamically control which actions are visible to a user or group of users by associating that information with a profile. A profile represents a typical category of user within a company and is based on the roles and privileges associated with that user category.

Users can be added to a standard profile in the New User window, the Edit User window, and the Save As New User window. You may need to create a profile prior to adding a user. Standard profiles can be created from either Site > Profiles or Organizations > Profiles. License profiles cannot be added at this step. License profile membership is restricted to only its corresponding license group. License profile settings should be extended by adding users and groups to the profile’s license group. For more information, see About Profiles.
