  Duplicate Profile Name: The primary cause of this error is that you are trying to create a profile with a name that already exists in the system.

  Use a Unique Name: If the profile name you want to use already exists, consider using a different, unique name for your new profile. This could involve adding a suffix or prefix to differentiate it.
  
  
  Modify Existing Profile: If the existing profile is not being used or if it can be modified, you may choose to update the existing profile instead of creating a new one.
  
  
  Delete Unused Profiles: If there are profiles that are no longer needed, you can delete them (if you have the necessary authorizations) to free up the name for reuse.
