--- title: "Create and Edit Roles" url: "https://docs.noreja.com/en/article/create-and-edit-roles" language: "en" last_updated: "2026-10-23T08:30:34.145Z" --- # Create and Edit Roles Create, edit and delete roles, choose features and actions, what each feature controls, and how roles add up. A role says what its members may do: for each feature, such as Analyzer or Builder, which actions are allowed. Roles are given to users directly or through user groups. Noreja comes without predefined roles, so each company creates the roles it needs. The ideas behind roles, groups and sharing are explained in [Access Management at Noreja](https://docs.noreja.com/en/article/access-management). > **Permissions:** Customer admins only. ### Open the Roles Open **Settings** (the gear icon) and choose **Roles** under **Authorizations**. Only Customer admins can manage roles. Customer admins themselves don't need roles: they may use every feature. ### Create or Edit a Role - Click **Add role**, or the pencil of an existing role. - Under **Feature**, choose the features the role covers. A row appears for each. - Tick the actions per feature: **Create**, **Delete**, **Edit**, **Read**, **Share**. As soon as you tick another action, **Read** is ticked too. - Enter the **Role name**, unique within your company, for example "Dashboard reader". - Optionally, tick users under **Assigned users** and user groups under **Assigned groups**. - Click **Save**. The change applies to everyone with this role right away. ![The page Add role: the features Analyzer and Dashboard selected, Analyzer with Create ticked and Read ticked automatically, Dashboard with Read, and the Role name Docs test role](https://cdn-assets.productfruits.com/89d8d7ad-a820-4452-a7d3-69722ee64013) Once a role exists, its page also has **Context access**: which knowledge members may use with Minerva. See [Context Hub: Knowledge for Minerva](https://docs.noreja.com/en/article/contextualizing-knowledge-for-minerva-ai). ### What the Features Control | Feature | What it allows | | --- | --- | | **Analyzer** | **Read**: the Analyzer and analyzer tabs. **Create**: new analyzer tabs. **Edit**, **Delete**, **Share**: change, delete and share them. See [Create an Analyzer Tab](https://docs.noreja.com/en/article/create-an-analyzer-tab). | | **Dashboard** | The same for dashboards. See [Create a Dashboard Tab](https://docs.noreja.com/en/article/dashboard-general). | | **Builder** | Data sources, entities and perspectives: **Read** to see them, **Create**, **Edit**, **Delete** to work on them, **Share** for entities and perspectives. See [From Data Source to Perspective: How the Builder Works and Who Does What](https://docs.noreja.com/en/article/from-data-source-to-perspective-how-the-builder-works-and-who-does-what). | | **Chat** | **Read** opens the chat page, where you can ask questions; **Create** adds the **Minerva-AI** switch next to dashboards and the Analyzer. A role with only Chat gives chat-only access. See [Chat with Minerva](https://docs.noreja.com/en/article/minerva-chat-ui-functionalities) and [Navigating Noreja](https://docs.noreja.com/en/article/navigating-noreja). | | **Context** | The Context tab in the AI Hub, where knowledge for Minerva is viewed and maintained. Which knowledge Minerva uses for a user depends on each item's access settings, not on this feature. **Edit** also opens **Manage** with the AI settings; see [Environment Settings: Branding, AI and Import](https://docs.noreja.com/en/article/environment-settings-branding-ai-and-import). | | **Prompt** | Skills and prompts in the AI Hub. See [AI Hub: Agents, Skills, Prompts and Workspaces](https://docs.noreja.com/en/article/ai-hub-agents-skills-prompts-and-workspaces). | | **Agent** | Agents in the AI Hub. | | **Workspaces** | The Workspaces tab in the AI Hub; **Create** for shared workspaces, **Share** to share them. The top menu shows **AI Hub** only with Agent, Prompt or Context, so combine Workspaces with one of them. See [Navigating Noreja](https://docs.noreja.com/en/article/navigating-noreja). | | **Company library** | **Edit**: maintaining the company library, the shared folder of skills and templates in every workspace. See [Work with Files in Minerva Workspaces](https://docs.noreja.com/en/article/work-with-files-in-minerva-workspaces). | | **Workbench** | **Create**: using the workbench, which can read the process data of all perspectives, also those not shared with the user. Without **Create**, the top bar shows no **Workbench**; see [Navigating Noreja](https://docs.noreja.com/en/article/navigating-noreja). **Edit** and **Delete**: restarting and stopping workbenches. See [Create and Use a Workbench (Jupyter Notebook)](https://docs.noreja.com/en/article/using-the-workbench-with-jupyther-notebook) and [Manage Workbench Instances](https://docs.noreja.com/en/article/managing-a-workbench-instance). | | **Manager** | An older feature. It also opens the Minerva chat and the **Minerva-AI** switch; use **Chat** for that instead. | ### How Roles Add Up - A user's permissions are everything their direct roles and the roles of their user groups allow together. No role takes a permission away. - Items shared with a user add to their roles for that item; see [Share Your Work with Colleagues](https://docs.noreja.com/en/article/share-your-work-with-colleagues). - Prefer assigning roles through user groups; see [Manage User Groups](https://docs.noreja.com/en/article/manage-user-groups). ### Delete a Role Click the red bin in the role's row and confirm with **Confirm**. Users and groups lose the role's permissions right away. Deleting can't be undone. If the role has entries under **Context access**, remove them first. Otherwise the role may stay in the list without a message. ### Related - [Access Management at Noreja](https://docs.noreja.com/en/article/access-management) - [Manage User Groups](https://docs.noreja.com/en/article/manage-user-groups) - [Edit, Delete and Re-Invite Users](https://docs.noreja.com/en/article/edit-delete-and-re-invite-users)
