{% hint style="info" %}

### Before you start

You must have **Security Roles setup** selected in the Admin tab of your own **General Access security role** before you can assign or remove permissions for any security roles.

The pre-defined role **All** typically has all role options selected. However, some of the options are not selected by default and you should explore the permissions set before assigning the role.
{% endhint %}

1. Select the Menu button, then **Admin**, then select **System Administration**.

   The System Administration window appears.
2. In the Explorer pane, expand **Security Roles**, then select **General Access**.

   All existing General Access security roles are displayed.  Now you can create, update or rename a security role of this type.
3. To create a role, select the New icon and assign the role a name in the **Role Name** field. To view or update a role, select the role in the browse table and select&#x20;

Within the General Access security role, there are two tabs. Select the one you need:

<table data-header-hidden><thead><tr><th width="189"></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Admin</td><td>To define global access settings, including system settings, security roles and other administration settings</td></tr><tr><td>Timesheets</td><td>To define permissions for creating and viewing timesheet entries</td></tr></tbody></table>
