# Create roles to manage permission

`Roles` are a permissions configuration that governs how team members can use Defastra, the data that can be accessed, the features that can be used, and so on.

Before inviting a team member, you must create at least one `Role`.

Head over to the [`Role` management tab](https://dashboard.defastra.com/teams) and click on **`CREATE A NEW ROLE`**:

  "images": [
    {
      "image": [
        "https://files.readme.io/f9e424d-081fd495e8dadd26b6c45a71ca436923.png",
        "081fd495e8dadd26b6c45a71ca436923.png",
        1150,
        1128,
        "#000000"
      ],
      "caption": "Create a new ```Role```"
    }
  ]
}
[/block]

Every permission setting for the `Role` is detailed with a simple sentence explaining what will or will not be permitted.

Provide a name for the `Role` you are creating. Ensure the name reflects it’s purpose, or denotes your desired hierarchy.

[block:callout]
{
  "type": "info",
  "title": "Note",
  "body": "The only permission setting where you should enter a value is the ```Maximum daily check allowed```: this permission is used as the limit to daily usage of the team member. \n\nInput the number of requests (***Deep Checks***) you want, or let it blank for no restriction."
}
[/block]

`Roles` can be edited whenever needed and will automatically update the linked team members' permissions.

`Roles` cannot be deleted if team members have been assigned the `Role,` or has pending invited members under it. To remove a `Role` with members assigned, you must first remove the assigned team members, then the `Role`.

[block:callout]
{
  "type": "success",
  "title": "Note",
  "body": "As the main account owner and team administrator, you are not under any ```Role```."
}
[/block]

After creating at least one `Role`, [you can invite your first team member.](https://docs.defastra.com/docs/invite-a-team-member#invite-a-team-member)
