# Roles

Infoveave Roles allow you to create custom roles, control access to features in detail, and tailor user privileges based on your organization’s needs.

<Aside>
The **Roles** section under Administration is visible only to users who have been granted access. This ensures that the management of roles and access privileges remains restricted to authorized individuals within your organization.

3. Assign a **Name** to the new custom role.

   * By selecting these options, you define the user’s level of access within these sections.  
6. After configuring all aspects of the custom role, click **Save** to save your settings.
