The profiles listed and created through this interface (administration) are general profiles. They will be available for all sites.
Any webmaster (or user with group creation rights) can also create local profiles through the CMS interface ( Users, groups and rights tab CMS). These can only be used for the site in question.

Profile assignments made through this interface (administration) are made in the administration context.
