Click on the role card that best fits the team member. This will apply a predefined set of permissions in one click. If you need to adjust individual permissions after selecting a role, you can do so at any time. The configuration will then automatically switch to **Custom**. Once you have selected a role, click "**Save Changes**" to apply it. ![how to assign a role 3-1](https://support.pabau.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Team%20category/how%20to%20assign%20a%20role%203-1.png?width=625&height=302&name=how%20to%20assign%20a%20role%203-1.png) From that moment on, the team member will have the permissions corresponding to the assigned role, streamlining access and responsibilities within your team. **NOTE:** You can also learn about [this topic](https://academy.pabau.com/courses/team/lessons/roles/) by watching a lesson on [Pabau Academy](https://academy.pabau.com/courses/).
