# ERR\_USER\_ACTION\_FORBIDDEN\_BY\_PROFILE: Your user profile does not allow you to perform this action[¶](https://doc.dataiku.com/dss/latest/troubleshooting/errors/ERR_USER_ACTION_FORBIDDEN_BY_PROFILE.html#err-user-action-forbidden-by-profile-your-user-profile-does-not-allow-you-to-perform-this-action "Permalink to this headline")

User profiles define the types of actions your are allowed to do from a licensing perspective.

For example, if your profile is READER or DATA\_ANALYST, this error will happen if you attempt to build a Visual Machine Learning model.

This error may also happen if your DSS administrator updated the DSS license. Your user profile may not exist anymore in the new license.

## Remediation[¶](https://doc.dataiku.com/dss/latest/troubleshooting/errors/ERR_USER_ACTION_FORBIDDEN_BY_PROFILE.html#remediation "Permalink to this headline")

To solve this issue ask the DSS administrator to update the user profile (note that DESIGNER is the unlimited profile in most licenses).
