# 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](/settings/role-based-access-control-rbac/role-permissions.md) 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 ](/settings/role-based-access-control-rbac/managing-roles/permissions-list.md)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.

**Note**: Access to the roles page is restricted to admins and users with the "Read Roles" permission.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.finout.io/settings/role-based-access-control-rbac/managing-roles.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
