Every org includes standard profiles. In Professional, Enterprise, Unlimited, Performance, and Developer Editions, you can use standard profiles or create, edit, and delete custom profiles. In orgs where you can’t create custom profiles (such as Contact Manager and Group Editions), you can assign standard profiles to your users, but you can’t view or edit them. While you can’t edit standard profile permissions, you can edit the following settings: Custom App Settings Tab Settings Desktop Integration Clients options Session Settings Password Policies https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=standard_profiles.htm&type=5
