# Create a role

> Create a new role in ION to group permissions that you can assign to users and teams.

A role is a named set of permissions you assign to users and teams. For the access model, common role patterns, and provisioning, see [Users and permissions](/administration/users-and-permissions/overview).

## Create a role

1. In ION, go to **Settings > Roles & Permissions**.
2. Click **New Role**.
3. Enter a name for the role and click **Create Role**.

ION creates the role and opens its detail page. The role has no permissions yet.
