# How Do I Assign a Role to a User?

## Give each user the rights to only what they need - for their protection as well as your company's

##### **We’ll go through an overview of how to assign Roles to Users. Be aware:**

1. **Users are accessed and managed in My Account.**
2. **Roles are accessed and managed in Settings. **

 

#### Assigning Roles to Users

- In the left panel select **My Account**, then click **Users** & choose from 3 options: 
    - Client Users
    - Advertiser Users
    - Partner Users
- You should now see a listing of Users.  
    - Scroll to **find the User** you want to assign; 
    - Or **create a new User**: 
          - Click the ‘New User +’ button at top right;
          - A Form opens in the right pane;
          - Fill out the fields;
          - Tick radio buttons for each Role you want to assign to this User;
          - Click Save.
- Remember that you can only assign Roles to Users of the same type, i.e., 
    - **Client Roles** can only be assigned to **Client Users**.
    - **Advertiser Roles** can only be assigned to **Advertiser Users**.
    - **Partner Roles** can only be assigned to **Partner Users**.
