# Manage Roles

Roles (user roles) define user access level on every section or function of the platform.

Here we show three different groups: **admin**, **Basic User** and **Super Admin**.

Checked checkbox means that profile is allow to manage that [specific function or section](https://admin-things5.gitbook.io/things5/users/manage-roles/functions-in-roles) 

<mark style="color:purple;">**admin**</mark> is a system role, cannot be deleted nor any checkbox can be unchecked. \
This role can do everything everywhere

<mark style="color:blue;">**Basic User**</mark> and <mark style="color:blue;">**Super Admin**</mark>  are custom roles and they can be configured via the checkboxes.\
They also can be deleted but only if there are no users with that Role

There also some function/section cannot be delegated to any other role: Manage Groups, Manage Models and all those that have disabled check-boxes in that schema

Turn **on/off the checkboxes** to edit an existing role (ref. 3). \
Confirm with "***Save changes***" button (ref. 2)

Click the "**trash**" red icon, right beside the role name (ref. 4) to delete that role. \
Deletion can only be performed if there are no users with that Role.

Use "***+ Add new***" button (ref. 1) to add a new role. \
This will open this dialog
