# Profiles Engine Faq

**Q**: Can I add the Profile Engine Agent to an existing cluster?

**A**: Yes, but it will cause a temporary cluster interruption. Version 5.4 will include the agent in the Add-on Manager.

***

**Q**: When I deploy a profile, what happens to pre-existing policies on the cluster?

**A**: Existing policies will have any missing verbs or bindings added. ***Nothing will be removed***. Future releases will include the ability to add and remove verbs/bindings from existing policies.

***

**Q**: Does this work on all clusters, including EKS, AKS, and GKE?

**A**: No. Version 5.5 will introduce support for Add-on Manager and Profile Engine.

***

**Q**: How do Cluster RBAC Profiles differ from RBAC Settings?

**A**: The RBAC settings UI enables users to create and edit **individual** Roles, ClusterRoles, RoleBindings, and ClusterRoleBindings obects. Cluster RBAC Profiles are a templating mechanism to enable operators to manage cluster RBAC at scale using the concept of Profiles.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.platform9.com/managed-kubernetes/5.8/rbac-profiles/profiles-engine-faq.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
