# Create custom roles and policies

Inforiver-EDITable enables administrators to assign specific, granular-level controls to users by allowing them to create custom roles with customized permissions.

Admins can create custom policies in addition to the [existing default policies and roles](https://docs.editable.io/admin-portal-and-editable-console/admin-portal/user-management/user-roles-and-permissions) and add only specific permissions to them.

### 1. Add a new policy <a href="#id-1.-add-a-new-policy" id="id-1.-add-a-new-policy"></a>

1. To add a new policy, click on **Add Policy.**

2. Enter a name for the new policy and a description of the permissions associated with it; select the actions/permissions that can be granted and the product to which the policy applies, and then click **Add**.
