# Custom roles

{% hint style="warning" %}
This is a premium feature that needs to be purchased separately.
{% endhint %}

Streams Manager allows you to create custom roles with very granular permissions that allow access to certain features of the system while forbidding access to other features. This is very helpful if you have users that are considered staff and help you manage your system.

{% hint style="info" %}
Built in roles of Administrator and User cannot be modified or removed.
{% endhint %}

When you create a custom role, you can specify what permissions the role has. You can then assign that role to a certain Site Login to give it those permissions.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Once permissions on a role have changed, user with the role must logout before changes will take effect.
{% endhint %}
