# Permissions

The ability to configure and create Workflow apps is determined by role based access control (RBAC).

By default, the system roles Admin and Analyst have full permissions to build Workflow apps, manage Workflow apps, and configure Workflow apps portal settings.

Workato also enables you to assign granular Workflow apps permissions by creating a custom role in Workspace admin > Collaborators > Collaborator roles. This allows you to separate the permissions for building and managing Workflow apps. For example, you can create a role that allows users to create Workflow apps, but prevents them from modifying Workflow apps portal settings. This guide describes the permissions necessary to perform the following tasks:

Create Workflow apps pages
Create Workflow apps
Configure Workflow apps
Configure Workflow apps portal settings
Configure Workflow apps users and groups

DATA TABLES PERMISSIONS

Access to Workflow apps also depends on the type of access your role has to data tables.
