# Assign Roles to Users

Use this task to assign roles to users in the Pentaho User Console

1. Make sure the **Manage Roles** tab is selected, then click the role in **Roles** list that you want to associate with a user or users.
2. In the **Available** list, click the user or users that you want to associate with that role.
3. 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.
4. You can remove users from the **Selected** list by highlighting that user and clicking on the Left Arrow (<).

   The user moves from the **Selected** list to the **Available** list, and no longer has the permissions associated with that role. The users that appear in the **Selected** list are now tied to the highlighted role and have all of the permissions associated with that role.
