You will see the new profile page, where you have to choose a name for it and optionally fill its description. Then, in the Edit permissions for this profile table, select the permissions to actions in individual modules that you want the newly created profile to have.

In addition to general permissions to create, view, edit, and delete records in selected modules, you can also configure permissions for fields and tools.
