# View sample users, default roles, and permissions
By viewing the sample user and default role examples, you can get ideas about ways to define actual users and specific roles.
1. [Log in to PUC](/pba/9.3-analytics/pentaho-user-console/log-in-to-the-pentaho-user-console.md). Click **Home** > **Administration**.
The **Administration** perspective opens the **Users & Roles** page with the **Manage Users** tab selected.
2. Highlight a user in the users list to display which roles are available for that user, as well as which role is currently defined for that user.
3. Select the **Manage Roles**tab to display the **Operation Permissions** for the user's role, as defined by the checked boxes.
These roles, added for your convenience, can be removed or altered based on your needs (see Table 1: Default Pentaho Security Settings). Each default role and sample user comes with a standard set of permissions, which provides for a specific set of capabilities when using Pentaho tools and the Pentaho Server (see Table 2: Operation Permissions).
4. Select the **System Roles** tab to display the user's system role.
System Roles are built-in roles used to control default behaviors and permissions in PUC, handled implicitly or through system configuration, with automatic assignments. The default system role for all users is 'Authenticated'. If you want to restrict permissions, the 'Authenticated' role must be restricted or removed from the user.
