# Assign Roles to Users

Perform the following steps to assign roles to users in the Pentaho User Console

1. Click the **Manage Roles** tab.
2. Highlight the role in **Roles** list that you want to associate with a user or users.
3. In the **Available** list, click the user or users that you want to associate with that role.
4. Click the right arrow (**>**) to move the users to the **Selected** list.

   You can click the double-right arrow (**>>**) to move all users from the **Available** list to the **Selected** list.

The users that appear in the **Selected** list are now assigned to your highlighted role and have all of the permissions associated with that role.
