# Workflow 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.
