# Roles and Permissions

**Q:** What are the Roles?\
**A:** Roles in GiOT define a user's access and permissions within the platform. They determine what actions a user can perform, such as managing devices, viewing data, creating rules, or configuring dashboards. Roles ensure that users have appropriate access based on their responsibilities, promoting secure and efficient management of the platform.

***

**Q:** Where can I see my Role?\
**A:** If your role has permission to access the Administrator section, go to Users, find your profile, and click on Quick View. There, you can see your assigned roles. Starting from version 1.1, users will be able to view their roles on their own profile page.

***

**Q:** Can I change my Role?\
**A:** No, users cannot change their own role. Only the SuperAdmin or a user with the required permissions can assign new roles to other users.

***

**Q:** Can more than one role be assigned to a user?\
**A:** Yes, a user can be assigned multiple roles. This provides more granular control over the tasks a user can perform on the platform, without the need to grant SuperAdmin or other high-level management roles.

***

**Q:** What are the different Roles on the platform?\
**A:** The platform offers several roles, such as:

* **Super Admin Role:** For administrators, with access to all functions.
* **Normal Role:** Not allowed to export data, create, edit, or delete sub-tenant roles. Can only view.
* **No Delete/No Create Role:** Allows viewing and editing but not creating or deleting.

***

**Q:** What is a Custom Role?\
**A:** A Custom Role in GiOT is a user-defined set of permissions tailored to specific needs. Administrators can create custom roles to control what actions users can perform and which data they can access.

***

**Q:** How do I create a custom Role?\
**A:** Go to Administrator > Role > Create, enter the role name, select the desired permissions from all sections, and then click Save.
