# IONOS Private Cloud: Role Management in the Cloud Panel

This article explains what information is listed in the Management > Roles pane, how to assign additional permissions to a role, and how to view the permissions granted.

Access permissions in the Cloud Panel are determined by the roles you assign to the users you have created. By assigning a role, you define what sections and actions a user may view or run in the Cloud Panel. Multiple roles can be assigned to one user and each role can be assigned to multiple users. By default, the administrator role is assigned to a user.

This role has full permissions and it may not be changed. The section **Management** > **Roles** is divided into two pages:

* the **Overview** page
* the **Permissions** page

On the **Overview** page, you can create, clone and delete roles. In addition, all roles you have configured are listed in a table.

To call up all information on a given role or to grant additional permissions to a role, click on the name.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Important:** When you create a role, only read access permissions to all sections of the Cloud Panel are granted.
{% endhint %}

To grant additional permissions to a role, activate the desired role. In the **Authorizations** section, you can customise the granted permissions.

## Granting of Permission Groups

You can assign permission groups to a role using the quick selection function. When you activate a permission group, the corresponding permissions are activated for all sections of the Cloud Panel.

## Display of Granted Permissions

The status of the respective permission group is displayed in the quick selection.

To grant individual permissions to a role, select the desired section in the left column of the list and activate or deactivate the desired permissions.

The number of granted permissions is displayed in the **Summary** section.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.ionos.com/cloud/private-cloud/ionos-private-cloud/administration/role-management.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
