# IPK Management Security Roles

{% 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**.
2. The System Administration window appears.
3. In the Explorer pane, expand **Security Roles**, then select **IPK Management**. All existing IPK Management security roles are displayed.
4. The permissions for IPK Management security roles are available on several tabs. Select the appropriate one for your needs:
