# 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.

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

   The System Administration window appears.

   In the Explorer pane, expand **Security Roles**, then select **Workflow Management**. All existing Workflow Management security roles are displayed.
