# Assign user permissions in the repository using the PDI client

You can restrict what users see by assigning roles to users. For example, you can create administrative groups who are allowed permissions in the repository to administer security and create new content.

1. Click **Roles**.

   The list of available roles appears.
2. In the **Available** list, highlight the role to which you are assigning permissions.
3. In the **Permission** list, select the check boxes to enable (or deselect to disable) permissions, then click **Apply**.

   The permissions you enabled for the role take effect the next time the specified user(s) login.
