# Roles

![A list of typical roles that a company may have in Blocworx.](https://1186088597-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MSr2uF2m-DtSpCxknCK-887967055%2Fuploads%2FmzuXqm0clNA0exAHy777%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=54f2ff41-de27-4295-aba7-9a5abe9b1708)

Roles are created by the user and are used for 2 reasons.

1. To give access to modules/blocs by [adding roles to those blocs](https://manual.blocworx.com/blocworx-documentation/bloc-editor/bloc-settings/bloc-user-and-role-access#add-roles-to-this-bloc).
2. To create groups of [permissions](https://manual.blocworx.com/blocworx-documentation/admin-and-development/roles-and-permissions/..#permissions) so they not have to individually add the permissions every time they create a user.

They are dynamically set by an admin and can be added, edited or deleted at any time. A typical role might be "Supervisor" and you may decide that the Supervisor role [can edit data in a bloc](https://manual.blocworx.com/blocworx-documentation/admin-and-development/permissions#can-edit-data-inside-a-bloc) and [has access to specific blocs](https://manual.blocworx.com/blocworx-documentation/bloc-editor/bloc-settings/bloc-user-and-role-access#add-roles-to-this-bloc).

### Creating, Editing and Deleting Roles

To manage roles to Admin & Development -> Manage Roles and Permissions. From Here you can create new roles, add permissions to these roles, edit roles or delete roles.\
\
Once a role is created it will be available when [Adding/Editing a user](https://manual.blocworx.com/blocworx-documentation/admin-and-development/manage-profiles-and-users). It will also be available when [adding roles to a bloc](https://manual.blocworx.com/blocworx-documentation/bloc-editor/bloc-settings/bloc-user-and-role-access#add-roles-to-this-bloc).
