# Managing Roles

The Roles page contains all of your default or custom roles. In Finout, you have two types of roles:

* **Default roles** are out-of-the-box roles provided by Finout, see the [roles and permission overview](https://docs.finout.io/settings/role-based-access-control-rbac/role-permissions) for all default roles and their permissions. Here you can add custom roles or manage your existing roles.
* **Custom roles** are created by selecting [permissions ](https://docs.finout.io/settings/role-based-access-control-rbac/managing-roles/permissions-list)that make up the role. A permission specifies which actions a user can perform in Finout. This enables you to assign specific roles to users tailored to your company's needs.
