# Roles

> Bundles of abilities

Roles are bundles of abilities. A [group](/guides/permissions-groups) is given a role on an asset which gives the users in the group certain [abilities](/guides/permissions-abilities). We provide some default roles, but platform Admins can create their own customized roles in the [Settings](/admin/roles) page. That means you can cherry-pick the abilities you want to give to your roles.

We provide three default roles: Manager, Editor and Viewer.

**Managers** are easy - they have all the abilities. **Editors** can generally do everything except deleting and moving assets as well as managing permissions on Folders. **Viewers** are quite limited - they can only view assets. Note that **viewers** also have the ability to Read tables whereby they can load data from the assets (sources and models) that they have Read access to. You can compare them below.
