# Roles

## Overview

The **Roles** workspace is used to combine permissions into a role in order to group specific permissions.

## Navigation

The **Roles** workspace can be found in the **Master data** folder of the **Tax Administration** module and is displayed as follows:

'Roles' workspace

## Creating and Configuring Roles

To create and configure a new role, proceed as follows:

{% stepper %}
{% stepper-step %}
Click **Create**.
{% /stepper-step %}
{% stepper-step %}
In the **Role data** area, enter the **name** of the role and a **comment** (if necessary).
{% /stepper-step %}
{% stepper-step %}
In the **Access rights** area, define the access rights for the role by selecting the check box of the desired folder or workspace to allocate write permission to the role.

 Any underlying elements will also be automatically activated.

{% /stepper-step %}
{% /stepper %}
{% info-box %}
**Notes**:

- Each tab represents a **Tax Compliance and Reporting** module. The access rights are **hierarchical** and based on the structure of the workspaces or folders.
- In the **Tax Administration** module, you can alternatively activate the check box in the **Readonly?** column if only **read access permission** should apply to that specific folder or workspace.
- For the **Income Taxes** module, you can assign either write or read access rights for each individual workspace or folder.
- You can use the **change log** to track all changes made to roles.
