# Roles
Roles allow you to give permissions to your team to access your workspace, create private categories in Knowledge Base, and many many more.
## Creating a Role
To create a role, follow the steps below:
To continue, you'll need the following permission: Workspace Admin
Firstly, go to the Roles Page by going to Settings > Roles.
Click Create Role in the top and it should create a role named "new role".
After creating a role, you'll need to give it permissions. To give it permissions, just toggle the switch located on the right side of the permission.
In order for a staff to access the workspace, they must have at least one permission.
Once the permissions have been selected, scroll down until you see Assigned Group Roles and Manual Members.
For Asisgned Group Roles, select which roles by switching the toggle on or off will recieve the role and its permissions. For Manual Members, you'll need to manually type their usernames and select from the dropdown.
Be sure to hit Save to save your role!
