This opens the **User roles** overview, which displays all configured **User roles** and their **Role types**. Roles are used to manage access to different parts of the system. From this view you can: - **View or edit existing roles.** - **Create new user roles** (if you have the necessary permissions). Access to these actions depends on your user permissions. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/5c3fbf4a-b177-42ef-a5c9-ab5c60ca2ba9/Images/Documentation/image-M59S1LBH.png)
