# Roles Access in JetBrains Central Console is role-based. Every role is some combination of [permissions](#permissions) that define what this role can do. You can either use [default roles](#default_roles) or create a new one and then assign it to principals: [users](users.html), [groups](groups.html), and [service accounts](service-accounts.html). > **Note:** > Managing roles is available only for users with the [Manage organization](#permissions_manage_org) permission. Procedure: Create roles 1. In the sidebar, under Users and access, select Roles. If you don't see this page, your role doesn't have the necessary [permissions](#permissions). 2. In the top-right corner of the Roles page, click New role. 3. In the New role dialog, enter a name for the role. 4. Under Scope, select the [scope](#role-scopes) where the permissions of this role should apply: Organization or Groups. 5. Define the set of permissions for this role. 6. Click Create. Procedure: Edit roles 1. In the sidebar, under Users and access, select Roles. If you don't see this page, your role doesn't have the necessary [permissions](#permissions). 2. Click the permissions assigned to the role. Alternatively, click ... next to the role and select Edit role. 3. In the Edit role dialog, edit the permissions and the name of the role. > **Note:** > You can't change the [scope](#role-scopes) of a role. 4. Click Save changes to apply. Procedure: Delete roles 1. In the sidebar, under Users and access, select Roles. If you don't see this page, your role doesn't have the necessary [permissions](#permissions). 2. Click ... next to the role and select Delete role. 3. Confirm deletion. Procedure: Assign roles You can assign roles to [principals](ai-governance.html#principal): users, groups, and service accounts. Assigning a role adds permissions that this role includes. For information about assigning roles, see: * [Manage user permissions](users.html#user_permissions) * [Manage group permissions](groups.html#group_permissions) * [Manage service account permissions](service-accounts.html#service-account-permissions) ## Permissions Permissions define which sections of the UI the role has access to. | Permission | [Users and

Default permissions: * [Manage licensing and billing](#permissions_manage_licensing_and_billing) * [Manage purchases](#permissions_manage_purchases) * [View licenses](#permissions_view_licenses) ### Purchase manager A role for license procurement – purchasing licenses but not assigning them. Default permissions: * [Manage purchases](#permissions_manage_purchases) * [View licenses](#permissions_view_licenses) ### License viewer A role for read-only billing oversight. Default permissions: * [View licenses](#permissions_view_licenses) ## Role scopes Every role has a scope that determines where its permissions apply. * Organization for roles with permissions that should apply across the entire organization. * Groups for roles with permissions that should apply only within a specific [group](groups.html). For example, a team lead can have group-scoped permissions to manage AI access for their group's members only. > **Note:** > You can only define the scope when creating a role. If you need to change the scope, create a new role. Not all permissions support group scopes. A role scoped to groups can only have the following permissions: * [Manage AI access](#permissions_manage_ai_access) * [View AI access](#permissions_view_ai_access) * [View AI analytics](#permissions_view_ai_analytics) ## Team admin This is a special role for users who manage licenses and orders within a [team](about-teams.html). Team admins don't have visibility into or control over other teams or organization-wide settings. Team admins can: * Assign and revoke licenses from the team's pool. * Purchase or upgrade licenses for the team. * Invite other team admins to manage the same team. You can get the team admin role automatically when purchasing licenses or by invitation from an org admin or another team admin. * Purchasing new licenses does not grant you the org admin role for an existing organization if another person previously purchased licenses for that organization. Instead, your purchased licenses will form a new team, and you will receive the team admin role. * Org admins and team admins can invite you to become a team admin for a specific team.
