Alexa integration and SF profile based security

Hello,

I'm looking into building an Alexa skill that integrates with Salesforce and I'm currently reviewing the feasibility of such a solution. The question I have right now is how/if an Alexa integration supports the profile based security within Salesforce?

I would like users to ask Alexa questions but only get responses based on the records they have access to within Salesforce. 

My knowledge of Alexa development is pretty small right now and I'm not sure if Alexa skills can be based on users? I see Alexa used in more open settings where anyone in the room can ask Alexa a question. Great for asking what the temperature is but not so good for asking about Opportunities a person is working on.

Thanks,

Mike
