# Create a Custom Role

## Admins can Create Custom Roles in the 'Roles' page.

There are four roles built-in to Process Library, each with specific permissions: User, Approver, Author and Admin. If the built-in roles do not reflect the roles in your organisation then Admins can create bespoke roles by granting permissions or features to this role. 

As standard, only Admins can create a Custom Role.

- To create a custom role click on the **Roles** menu option in the **Admin** section of the menu on the left hand side of your screen.
- Under the list of built-in roles, click the **+Add A New Role** button.![Add new role](https://knowledge.triaster.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Phoenix%20-%20Knowledge%20Base/Untitled%20design%20-%202025-09-08T105440.651.png?width=655&height=282&name=Untitled%20design%20-%202025-09-08T105440.651.png)
- Type the name of the bespoke role that you are adding into the 'Role Name**'** field.

- Check the relevant boxes to give the new role the appropriate permissions or features:  
    - Approve Processes
    - Bulk Delete Processes
    - Bulk Modify Process Data
    - Create, Edit and Delete Process Maps
    - Invite New Users
    - Manage Data Capture
    - Manage Documents  
    - Manage Homepage 
    - Modify Live Process Maps
    - Modify Nodes
    - Rename Tenant
    - Review Processes

Admins can create roles with no permissions or features for security purposes. 

- Click the **+ Add Role** button to save the role and permissions.
