In **Roles**, you can view and create both **System Roles**, which are provided directly by OpsNow, and **Custom Roles**, which can be created by users with **Owner** permissions.

{% hint style="info" %}
The **Roles Tab** is only visible to users with **Owner** permissions.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Currently, role permissions are limited to the **Settings** menu. However, OpsNow is actively working on expanding role-based access controls to include menu permissions and more granular controls in the near future. Stay tuned!
{% endhint %}

#### Features available in the Roles menu:

* **Add Role**: Allows you to create a new **Custom Role**.
* **Delete Role**: Allows you to delete an existing **Custom Role**.

After clicking **Add Role**, you will be directed to the **Add Role** configuration page. Here, you can create a custom role by defining its basic information and selecting detailed permissions.
