# Roles & Permissions
Some team members may only need basic permissions, while others may require full access to manage the organization's business operations.
In this doc, we will explain how to configure employee access using the roles’ system to ensure security and efficient operation.

Role must be assigned to the employee before they can access the account.

## What is the Role’s System?
Role’s system is a flexible access feature that allows you to control what your organization's employees can do. For each role, you can select specific permissions and save them. In this way, you create a pre-set of permissions that you can assign to your employees.
Thus, you don’t need to set up access for each new employee individually. Instead, you have to create the role and choose the permissions once.
## How do you create, edit, and delete roles?
Navigate to the 'Roles' tab. Here you can add a new role, edit it, or delete it if necessary.
### Create a role
Click '**Add New Role**'
Name the role according to its [intended function](#user-content-fn-1)[^1].
Choose a color for the role label.
[Assign permissions](#user-content-fn-2)[^2] to the role based on what access you want the users to have.
After you choose the permissions - click “**Create**”.
Done. The role is created.
### Edit and delete a role
You can **edit** and **delete roles** in the Roles tab.
To change access settings for your employees, click "**Edit**". Now you’ve been forwarded to the **Permissions section**, where you can remove current permissions and grant new ones. After making the necessary changes, click "**Save**".
The role will be updated within 5 minutes, and all employees with that role will get the new access permissions.
To delete a role, click "**Delete**".
{% hint style="warning" %}
When a role assigned to a specific employee is deleted, the employee will be assigned the **“Default Member”** role.\
In this case, the employee will receive access only to **basic platform functionality**, including **OF Home, OF Notifications, OF Messages, OF My Profile, AI Replies, Spell Checker, and Buying Power**.\
If you need to revoke all permissions for an employee, you can create a role with no permissions and assign it to employees as needed.

## General Permissions
The Permissions section contains all available permissions, which are divided into 4 blocks:
