# Assign a Role and Permissions from the Users Screen

Assign your users a role and specific permissions from the Users screen in Marketing Cloud Engagement.

To assign a role to a user, you must meet one of these conditions.

- Administrator role
- Manage Roles permission enabled in Email permissions
- Core, Advanced, or Enterprise 1.0 user with the Add Users to Account permission

1. In the app switcher, hover over your name and click **Setup**.
2. Click **Users**.
3. Find the user and select the checkbox next to the name. Use the search field or page through the available options.
4. Click **Manage Roles**.
5. Select whether you assign the role directly to the user or in the context of a specific business unit in the **Business Unit** dropdown.
    
    This step applies only to Enterprise accounts. Roles assigned directly to users retain that role for all business units.
6. Click **Edit Roles**. Select the checkbox next to the appropriate roles to assign.
7. Click **Save**.
8. To edit specific permissions for that user, click **Edit Permissions** and select the checkboxes next to permissions to assign.
9. Click **Save**.

Warning Don’t assign all permissions to a user. All permissions assignment creates conflicts and makes features inaccessible.
