Give people the access they need for their actual work.

## 1\. Define the access needed

A role groups permissions for modules, actions and languages. A user can hold several roles. In CMS3, allowing rules take precedence: a denial in one role does not cancel a permission granted by another.

## 2\. Create a role

In Users, select the destination level, choose Create and the Role type. Give it a clear name. Configure modules, individual actions and any language restrictions in its settings.

Role access to modules and individual actions

## 3\. Add a user

To add a person, select the appropriate role and create a user. Enter the required details, especially the correct email. Use your project’s sign-in procedure and do not share one account between people.

Adding a user to the selected role

## 4\. Check combined roles

When combining roles, review the resulting permissions. A role limited to one region or language can be widened by another. Verify access to actual modules and pages; the role’s name alone does not describe its effective authority.
