# Assign Users to Roles

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

1. With the **Manage Users** tab selected, click to highlight the user from the **Users** list that you want to associate with a role.
2. In the **Available** list, click to highlight the role that you want to associate with the selected user.
3. Click the Right Arrow (>) to move the role to the **Selected** list.

   The role moves from the **Selected** to **Available** list, and the user no longer has the associated permissions. The user now has all of the permissions associated with the role in the **Selected** list.
