# Roles & permissions

> Govern workspace access with Genloop's built-in Admin, Editor, and Viewer roles, or create custom roles to fine-tune permissions for data and connections.

Genloop uses role-based access control to define what each member of your workspace can see and do. Roles are assigned per member and can be updated at any time from Workspace settings.

## Built-in roles

Genloop ships with four built-in roles that cover most team structures:

**Admin** Full access to everything in the workspace. Can manage members, edit connections, update Context Hub, review and approve in Review Center, and manage billing.

**Data Manager** Can manage data connections, edit Context Hub, and review validation requests in Review Center. Cannot manage members or billing.

**Analyst** Can ask questions in Chat, build and edit Liveboards, create reports, and set up Automations. Cannot manage connections, Context Hub, or members.

**Viewer** Read-only access. Can view Liveboards and Chat answers but cannot ask new questions or make changes.

## Custom roles

<Note>
  Custom roles are available on the Growth and Enterprise plans. On Free and Pro, you can only use the four built-in roles.
</Note>

On Growth and Enterprise, you can create custom roles with a specific combination of permissions. Custom roles let you scope access at the data source, table, Liveboard, column, and row level — so analysts, executives, and admins all work within the exact boundaries you set.

Enterprise plans also support custom role auto-sync with your identity provider via SSO and SAML.

## Assigning roles

Roles are assigned when you invite a member or can be updated from the members list in Workspace settings. Click the role dropdown next to any member to change it.
