1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
determining first data corresponding to a request for permission to associate a first profile with a device associated with a second profile;
causing output of the first data;
receiving second data indicating the first profile is to be temporarily associated with the device;
storing third data associating the first profile with the device;
receiving input audio data corresponding to an utterance detected by the device;
determining, using the third data, that the first profile is associated with the device;
using the first profile to determine the utterance was spoken by a user associated with the first profile;
performing speech processing using the input audio data to determine a command to be executed based at least in part on the first profile; and
determining that further permission is needed to perform the command.
