This can happen for various reasons, including system settings or the nature of the profile itself.

  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to maintain the profile. This can be checked with the help of your SAP security team.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help files for the specific profile you are trying to maintain to understand the correct procedure for making changes.
