I had run into this same issue. I found a thread awhile back that answered my question but I can't seem to find it now. Essentially, the security_admin role is only granted to the local out-of-box admin account. You cannot impersonate that account to grant the role to other users. You have to login directly with the local admin account and then grant the role in that manner. We just got a new instance with High Security and that exactly what I had to do.

Login with the local admin account (do not impersonate)

Grant security_admin role to whomever needs it

I have tried the same steps, but still am not able to assign the role in my profile.

Can you please advise.
