# Creating Custom Roles

Create roles tailored to your organization's needs beyond the built-in options.

## Creating a Role

1. Navigate to **Access Control > Roles & Permissions**
2. Click **Create Role**
3. Enter a name and description
4. Select permissions from the available list
5. Save the role

## Managing Permissions

Each role has a set of granular permissions. Permissions are organized by category:

* **Users** — read, create, update, delete users
* **Organizations** — manage org structure
* **Roles** — create and assign roles
* **Applications** — manage OAuth apps
* **Audit** — view audit logs
* **Settings** — modify tenant settings

## Editing a Role

Click on any role to view and modify its permissions. Changes take effect immediately for all users with that role.

## Deleting a Role

Roles can only be deleted if no users are currently assigned to them. Reassign users to a different role before deleting.
