# User Roles

**Marlin Tyre and Mechanical Workshop Software**'s user role enables users to be given varying levels of access to different modules, as required.

A user's level of access to Marlin is determined by their assigned **Roles**, which determine what permissions are enabled for them.

Marlin systems will usually come with a set of standard roles already included, but [additional roles can also be added](/workshop/docs/user-permissions#adding-user-roles), if required.

Roles can be then be enabled for different users by ticking the appropriate **Role** checkboxes in their [user profile](/workshop/docs/user-accounts) (accessed by selecting **System > Company > Settings** from the menu bar).

          Tip

          

Multiple roles can be assigned to the same user.

## Adding User Roles

User roles can be added and edited by selecting **System > Company > Security > Roles** from the menu bar.

The Roles window will open on the **Search** window, showing a list of active user roles.

To add a new role click on the **Add** action button, the top-right of the Roles Search list.

The Roles window will open on the **Details** tab, containing a form for adding a new user role.

In the **Name** textbox, enter a name for the role.

Use the **Permissions** checkboxes below to assign permissions to the role.

Leave the **Active** checkbox at the bottom ticked to enable the new role within the Marlin system.

To save the user role and return to the Roles Search list, click on the **Save** button to the top-right.

## Editing User Role Permissions

#### System > Company > Security > Roles

Once [added](/workshop/docs/user-roles#adding-user-roles), various permissions can be enabled for individual roles by opening them from the Roles Search list in **Edit** mode, and ticking the **Permissions** checkboxes as required.

          Tip

          

Individual permissions can be enabled for multiple roles at once, using the Permissions module (accessed by selecting **System > Company > Security > Permissions** from the menu bar).
