Body: <p>USAGE:  I've created a Profile that includes the global Tagset.  I'm using it to designate a Region Tag for all Contacts as we roll out a directory.  The Tags have values such as "Northeast", "Northwest", etc.</p>

  <ol>
  <li>I have tested that I can save Tags to a Contact within CiviCRM<br>

Title: Tags not saving in Profiles
ThreadText: # Tags not saving in Profiles
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2018-03-01)
  
  USAGE: I've created a Profile that includes the global Tagset. I'm using it to designate a Region Tag for all Contacts as we roll out a directory. The Tags have values such as "Northeast", "Northwest", etc.
  
  [![My set of Tags](https://i.sstatic.net/ODLaZ.jpg)](https://i.sstatic.net/ODLaZ.jpg)
  
  PROBLEM: When a user saves their information using the Profile, the Tags selected are not saved in CiviCRM and thus the Tags selected are not shown also in their confirmation.
  
  BACKGROUND
  
  1. I have tested that I can save Tags to a Contact within CiviCRM  
     through the backend. All other fields are being saved correctly.
  2. Using CiviCRM 4.7.30, WordPress 4.9.4
  3. I have reviewed my WordPress permissions regarding 'tags', but willing to recheck or check others.
  
  **Tags:** profile, permissions, tags

  I was able to create a Tag set as a Custom Field for Contacts. I was then able to save the selections made by a user through a Profile. This solution is sufficient for my application.

  This use case may be better suited to setting up contact classifications using groups rather than tags for a few reasons <https://docs.civicrm.org/user/en/latest/organising-your-data/groups-and-tags/#groups-vs-tags>
