# System roles

Workato pre-defines system roles so you can easily assign them to team collaborators, based on the access each user requires.

Workato has four system roles: Team owner, Admin, Analyst, and Operator.

You cannot edit these roles directly. However, you can clone each role, and then modify it.

To view the privileges of a system role, a Team Admin can select a role in the Roles tab. This opens a read-only version of the role.

# Team owner

The Team Owner role is the most permissive system role. It owns the root login (username/password) for the account and includes full access to all settings for the account.

# Custom roles

CUSTOM ROLES IS AN ADD-ON

Custom roles is available as an add-on. Contact your Customer Success Manager for more information.

Workato also supports custom roles, enabling you to assign granular privileges to team collaborators.

For example: Development, QA, and Production teams are working in the same account. As part of the Recipe development lifecycle, you can create and assign roles with specific privileges to each team.

Refer to the Role-based access guide to learn how to create a custom role.
