--- title: Custom roles slug: custom-roles docTags: createdAt: 2026-05-25T08:49:12.555Z --- Custom roles let you create [organization](https://help.make.com/organizations) and [team](https://help.make.com/teams) roles with the permissions your users need. Instead of assigning only default roles, you can create a role, choose its permissions, and assign it to users in your organization or teams. :::hint{type="info"} Custom roles are available for **Enterprise** plan users only. Custom roles are not supported on Make private instances. ::: For example, you can create a role that lets a user view and run scenarios without giving them access to billing, organization settings, or user management. ## How custom roles work Make uses [organization roles](https://help.make.com/organizations#organization-roles) and [team roles](https://help.make.com/teams#team-roles) to control what users can access and manage. Organization roles apply at the organization level. Team roles apply to a specific team. This follows the existing two-level permission model in Make, where users belong to at least one organization and one team. With custom roles, you can create your own role and choose permissions from a predefined list. Each permission controls a specific action, such as viewing organization details, managing users, or managing scenarios. Some permissions depend on other permissions. When you enable or disable a permission, Make may also enable or disable related permissions that the selected permission requires. ### Custom organization roles Custom organization roles control what users can access and manage across the organization. You can use custom organization roles to give users access to organization-level permissions, such as organization details, organization members, billing information, feature controls, or organization settings. :::hint{type="warning"} ::: ### Custom team roles Custom team roles control what users can access and manage in a specific team. You can use custom team roles to give users access to team-level permissions, such as viewing team data, managing scenarios, managing templates, or working with team resources. Team roles affect what users can do with data that belongs to a team. Team resources include scenarios, connections, webhooks, keys, data stores, data structures, templates, and other team-owned assets. :::hint{type="info"} Permissions are all-or-nothing per resource type. A permission like **Manage scenarios **applies to every scenario in the team, not select ones. To limit access to specific resources, use a separate team. ::: ## Create a custom role To create a custom role for an organization or team: :::hint{type="info"} Custom roles can be created by **Org Owners and Admins only**. ::: ::::WorkflowBlock :::WorkflowBlockItem In the left sidebar, go to **Org **>** User Roles.** ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem Select **Organization roles** or **Team roles**. ::Image[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/oAyFj2GHlBeBVWF5OAir2/hA0r01NWafNXto3EKfbCO_image.png" size="40" width="277" height="104" darkWidth="277" darkHeight="104" position="center" showCaption="false"} ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem In the upper right corner, click **+ Create role**. ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem Enter a name and description for the role. ::Image[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/oAyFj2GHlBeBVWF5OAir2/yufFqth5FBxO0qVeC9JDT_image.png" size="60" width="476" height="164" darkWidth="476" darkHeight="164" position="center" showCaption="false"} ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem Enable the permissions you want to include in the role. You can click **Enable all** or **Disable all** for each category of permissions. ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem Click **Save role**. ::: :::: You’ve created a custom role and can assign it to users. ## Edit a custom role To find the custom role you created and edit the details: ::::WorkflowBlock :::WorkflowBlockItem In the left sidebar, go to **Org **>** User Roles**. ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem Select **Organization roles** or **Team roles**. ::Image[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/oAyFj2GHlBeBVWF5OAir2/hA0r01NWafNXto3EKfbCO_image.png" size="40" width="277" height="104" darkWidth="277" darkHeight="104" position="center" showCaption="false"} ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem Find the custom role you want to update and click **Edit**.

You can click **Enable all** or **Disable all** for each category of permissions. ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem Go back to the User roles page by clicking the arrow next to the custom role's name. Click **Save role** to save the changes. ::Image[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/oAyFj2GHlBeBVWF5OAir2/GL4iDWERG4HYuSGaW56-P_image.png" size="68" width="2122" height="1076" position="center" darkWidth="2122" darkHeight="1076" showCaption="false"} ::: :::: You’ve updated the custom role and changed what assigned users can access or manage. ## Assign a custom role To assign a role: ::::WorkflowBlock :::WorkflowBlockItem In the left sidebar, go to **Org **>** Org Users**. ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem Click **+ Invite user**. ![](https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/oAyFj2GHlBeBVWF5OAir2/NNfoF2ji4dsmZyjEohyYu_image.png) ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem In the Email field, enter the email address of the user. ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem In the **Name** field, enter the name of the user. ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem From the **Role **dropdown list, select the role to assign. ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem Click **Save**. ::: :::: You have now assigned a role to a user. To assign a role to an already existing user, click go to **Org Users** or **Team users** table and update the existing role from the menu. For more information see [Add users to an organization](https://help.make.com/organizations#add-users-to-an-organization) and [Manage team roles](https://help.make.com/teams#manage-team-members). ## Manage linked permissions Some permissions require other permissions to work correctly. For example, a permission that lets a user manage organization settings may also require permission to view the organization. When you enable a permission that requires other permissions, Make shows a confirmation dialog. You can enable the selected permission and its required permissions together. When you disable a permission that other permissions depend on, Make shows which related permissions will also be disabled. Review the list before you confirm the change. ## Duplicate a custom role You can duplicate a custom role from the role list. In the **User roles** page, find the role you want to copy, click the three dots menu, and select **Duplicate** **role**. Make opens the copied role in edit mode. The copied role uses the original role’s permissions. Update the name, description, or permissions, then click **Save role**. :::hint{type="info"} The Owner role can't be duplicated. Only one user can hold the Owner role in an organization. To transfer it to another user, use **Transfer ownership** (three-dot menu next to Owner) to give it to another user. ![](https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/oAyFj2GHlBeBVWF5OAir2/ejYx0Kw4FlrhtwVf1NpPf_image.png) ::: ## Delete a custom role You can delete a custom role from the role list. In the **User roles** page, find the role you want to delete, click the three dots menu, and select **Delete role**. Make asks you to confirm the deletion. Click **Delete** to remove it. This action cannot be undone. :::hint{type="warning"} Before you delete a role, reassign every user who currently holds it. Make doesn't let you delete a role while it's still assigned. :::
