# Permissions
The ability to configure and create Workflow apps is determined by role based access control (RBAC):
In the new permissions model, the following project roles have full permissions to build, manage, and configure Workflow apps and Workflow apps portal settings:
- Project admin
- Advanced builder
- Builder
In workspaces using the legacy permissions model, the Admin and Analyst system roles provide similar full access by default.
You can also assign granular Workflow apps permissions by creating a custom role in Workspace admin > Access control > Project 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.
