New icon in System Preferences

Recently I noticed a new icon in my System Preferences, named Profiles. When I opened it I got the attached pane. I wonder if that is anything new, or if not, should I be concerned about?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.15

FWIW, it appears to be normal. I see it in Big Sur.

Thank you. My machine is too old for Big Sur but I still get updates occasionally.

You're welcome. I still have an iMac which is running Catalina. I haven't checked it yet but I won't be surprised if it shows up there as well.

You're welcome. Apparently it was an Apple faux pas which has since been fixed.
