# Managing user roles

You can add, edit, or remove user roles. If multiple roles are assigned to a user, these roles collectively specify the rights for the user.

To manage users and roles, you must be logged-on as a superuser. You can use the username and password that you specified when logging on to Smart AMS Config for the first time, because the first user created in Smart AMS Config is automatically assigned the Superuser role.

- Go to the Smart AMS Config address in your web browser by using the Open Smart AMS Config UI shortcut on the Desktop or on the Windows Start menu.
  Sample address: https://localhost:6395. Make sure to replace localhost with the actual IP address of the computer Smart AMS Config is running on.

- Select in the upper-right corner of the page, select the Account management section, and then select Roles.

## Adding a role

- Select .

- Specify a name for the role.

- Select the Permissions field, and then select a permission to associate with the role: Editing of configuration, Pushing of configuration, Reset of configuration, Importing of Excel configuration, Importing/exporting of snapshot, Recovering of snapshot, or Saving of snapshot. To assign multiple permissions, repeat the selection step.

## Permissions
