Table of Contents Overview  Roles are applied to users and govern which actions they can or cannot take. For users with administrator privileges, or have role creation rights, there is the ability to create new custom roles using the UI and API. For instructions on how to create new roles via API, see  Roles. Types of Roles Default system roles are pre-created roles that have assigned permissions relevant to the type of role. These include: Administrator Trafficker Campaign Manager Reporting Custom roles have the ability to custom select certain permissions that will apply to the role. Custom roles also must have a parent role applied to it prior to selecting permissions. This parent role will apply its saved permissions to the custom role, and future changes to the parent role will dynamically apply to the custom roles beneath it.
