Overview
--------

District's roles and permissions system lets you control what different users can see and do on your site. Roles and permissions are both managed from the **People** section of the administration menu.

> 💡 **Note:** Depending on your user role, you may or may not have access to Roles and Permissions settings. Contact your site administrator if you don't see these options.

View and manage roles
---------------------

1. In the menu, click the **People** icon.
2. Click the **Roles** tab. This displays an overview of all available roles on your site.
3. From this view, you can edit existing roles or create new ones.
