# Manage roles

> Create and delete the roles that group the permissions you 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).

## 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.

## Delete a role

1. In ION, go to **Settings > Roles & Permissions**.
2. In the role's actions menu, click **Delete Role**.
3. In the confirmation dialog, click **Delete**.

<Warning>
  Deleting a role also removes it from every user and team it's assigned to, which can remove those users' access. Deletion can't be undone.
</Warning>
