# Roles

In WorkSpaces Manager, **Roles** define a set of permissions that can be assigned to advanced users or administrators. Custom roles can be tailored to specific needs, such as the actions that can be performed or restrictions based on locations, for example.

To add a new role, click **Create Role** in the top right. In this example, we want to create a role that only grants the ability to restart, stop, and start a user’s WorkSpace. After selecting the desired actions, click **Save**.

{% hint style="info" %}
You can modify the role at any time by double-clicking on it and saving the changes.

{% hint style="info" %}
Roles can also be restricted to specific regions and directories, ensuring that users or groups assigned to the role can only perform actions (such as restarting, stopping, or starting a WorkSpace) within the permitted region or directory. In our example, we want to grant this role access to specific options within the **eu-central-1** (Frankfurt region).
