As a workspace administrator, you can create new roles and assign specific permissions to them in your workspace.

{% hint style="info" %}
For Rocket.Chat workspaces on version 6.x.x and above, **creating new roles and editing custom role permissions** are exclusively accessible to workspaces subscribed to the [Enterprise plan](https://funke-olasupo.gitbook.io/user-guide/readme/our-plans#enterprise-plan).
{% endhint %}

To **create a new role**,

* Navigate to **Administration** > **Workspace** > **Permissions**.
* Click on **New role**.
* A side panel opens. Provide the details required:
  * **Role**: Name of the role.
  * **Description**: Set a description of the role.
  * **Scope**: Select the scope of the role.
* Click **Save**.

To assign permissions to a role, select the corresponding permission checkbox under the role.
