# Manage Roles

Roles are groups of permissions that are assigned to the user. 

There are four default roles in VU Custom and each role has assigned a group of permissions that a user with this role can perform in VU Custom.  However, the permissions can be modified depending on the brand's needs.:

* Administrator
* Customizer
* Inventory
* Production

A user with administrator permissions can add, modify, and delete user roles and permissions.
