# How do I assign a role to users?

Users can be assigned roles and thus permissions either via user groups or via manual assignment.

After you have created a user, you can also assign a role. The role defines the authorisation for users. You can find more information about roles [here](https://intercom.help/ovosplay/en/articles/5089229-what-roles-are-there-in-ovos-play).

To assign a role, proceed as follows:

1.  Save the new user account.
    
2.  Switch to the **Roles** tab.
    
3.  Select one or more roles.

By default, new users are so-called _learners_. A learner only has access to the app and not to the administration interface. The Learner role does not have to be assigned manually, but can always be added for a better overview.

You grant access to the administration interface with manual role distribution.
