I am trying to access Profiles and I can't find it under System Preferences. FWIW I just upgraded my MacBook Air (2017 7,2) to Monterey 12.5 though I never noticed if Profiles was available prior.
MacBook Air 13″, OS X 10.11
The Profiles preference panel is normally hidden. You will only see it if you have a MDM Profile installed. Normally, only people who use devices owned and managed by large companies would ever have any profiles installed.

By default there is no Profiles pane on a mac; and on a personal mac, there is no reason to have it.
As ku4hx said, if you can explain what you are trying to do, we may be able to guide you to it.
Normally, Profiles would appear in " User & Groups " Applet in System Preferences.
What is appearing in yours
refer below
What exactly are you wanting to do? Add or edit a user maybe?
Are you meaning this: Intro to Profile Manager - Apple Support
No "Profiles" under "System Preferences"
