Named Credential Permission on Profile/Permission Set

I have a Named Credential for an API callout to JIRA.  I gave myself access via Settings -> Authentication Settings for External Systems, and I am able to do callotus just fine.  

So that I don't have to do this with every user, I tried adding the same Named Credential via Profile/Permission Set -> Enabled Named Credential Access.  I get an error that the user does not have permission to view the data.

I confirmed with SF support that I did this correctly, but the permission is not recognized.  Any idea what could be wrong here?

Thanks for the suggestion.  It turns out my Named Credential was configured wrong.  I needed to use Identity Type = 'Named Principal' instead of 'Per User'
