# Role Permissions

Permissions specify the range of actions- Such as viewing, creating, editing, or deleting- that can be executed on Finout's resources. Each role contains a set of these permissions. Roles are assigned to users and a single user can inhabit multiple roles, inheriting the combined permissions of each.

In the Finout app you can find 4 pre-defined roles with their pre-defined list of permissions:

* **Admin role**: Has view, create, edit, and delete permissions.
* **Read-only role**: Has view permissions.
* **Basic role**: Has view permissions, and additional permissions, for example, save, edit, and rename Views, and full access to [Slack endpoints](broken://pages/0htHky5UOkYdFbIJAU1d).
* **API token role**: Has permissions relevant to using the [Finout API.](/api/finout-api/generate-an-api-token.md)

Based on a user's assigned role, certain actions will be automatically restricted. For instance, under the **Costs centers** tab in Settings, the **Add cost center** button is deactivated for users with a 'read-only role'. Users needing additional permissions should reach out to their system admin.

In upcoming updates, we are working on allowing users to establish custom roles tailored to their accounts. For more details, please reach out to our support team at <support@finout.io>.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.finout.io/settings/role-based-access-control-rbac/role-permissions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
