# Roles and permissions

> Use default roles, create custom roles with specific permissions, and adjust roles for a single team.

Roles decide what members of your organization can see and change. Every organization starts with three default roles, and you can create custom roles for more precise access.

<Note>
  Roles and permissions are available for organizations. You need permission to manage roles, which owners and admins have by default.
</Note>

***

## Default roles

Go to **Settings** → **Organization** → **Roles & permissions**. The page lists two groups:

* **Default roles**: Owner, Admin and Member, which every organization has.
* **Custom roles**: roles you create for your organization.

## Create a custom role

<Steps>
  <Step title="Start a new role">
    On **Roles & permissions**, click **Create role** and enter a **Role name**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose permissions">
    For each area, choose what the role can do. Use **Read only** to let people view without changing anything, or **Custom** to pick individual permissions. **All permissions** gives full access to that area. Use **Search permissions** to find a specific one.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save the role">
    Save the role, then assign it to members from the **Members** page.
  </Step>
</Steps>

When you turn on Create, Update or Delete for an area, Read is turned on too, because people need to see something to change it.

To change or remove a custom role, open it and choose **Edit role** or **Delete role**. Deleting a role can't be undone.

## Adjust a role for one team

Sometimes a team needs its members to have more or less access than everywhere else. Instead of creating a new role, you can adjust the default Member or Admin role for that team only.

The change applies to that team. The organization-wide role stays the same for every other team.
