# Manage user roles

> Add or remove roles directly on a user's profile to control what they can do in ION.

You can assign roles to a user directly from their profile page. This is the right approach when a user needs a role that isn't shared with a full team, or when you're setting up a single user's access without creating a team.

For assigning roles to many users at once, consider using [teams](/administration/users-and-permissions/manage-team-members) instead.

## Assign a role

1. In ION, go to **Settings > Builders**.
2. Click the user's name to open their profile.
3. In the **Roles** section, click **Add**.
4. Select the roles you want to assign.

The roles appear in the user's **Roles** section and take effect immediately.

## Remove a role

1. In ION, go to **Settings > Builders**.
2. Click the user's name to open their profile.
3. In the **Roles** section, find the role you want to remove.
4. Click the delete icon next to the role name.

The role is removed and the user loses any permissions they held through it. Permissions from other roles or teams are not affected.

<Note>
  Removing the last role from a user does not deactivate their account. They can still log in but cannot perform any create, update, or delete actions.
