# Assign roles

In equipme, roles define what employees can see and do. As an admin, you not only create employees but also control which roles they hold. This ensures that each person has exactly the level of access they need - no more, no less.

#### Where to Manage Roles <a href="#ispasted" id="ispasted"></a>

To assign or change roles, go to:\
**Settings → Roles and rights**

Here you’ll see an overview of all available roles in your organization. Each role has a description, so you can quickly understand what permissions it includes.

#### Assigning a Role to an Employee

1. Open **Settings → Roles and rights**.\
