<Note>
  **For admins.** Six roles ship with DirtView. Most companies never need more than these.
</Note>

## The six

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Admin" icon="crown">
    Runs DirtView for your company: people, roles, settings, integrations.

    **Give it to:** the one or two people who own the system. Not everyone senior.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Project Manager" icon="user-tie">
    Runs jobs: RFIs, submittals, change orders, approvals.

    **Give it to:** your PMs and project engineers.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Superintendent" icon="helmet-safety">
    Runs the field: drawings, daily logs, tickets, coordination.

    **Give it to:** supers and general foremen.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Safety Manager" icon="kit-medical">
    Safety forms, inspections, certifications and compliance.

    **Give it to:** whoever owns safety, even part-time.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Foreman" icon="hard-hat">
    Day-to-day field work: fill out forms, write tickets, look at sheets.

    **Give it to:** working foremen and leads.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Viewer" icon="eye">
    Read-only. Sees, changes nothing.

    **Give it to:** anyone who needs visibility without responsibility — an owner's rep, your CFO.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Assigning them without overthinking it

<Steps>
  <Step title="Start at the lowest role that does the job">
    It's easy to raise someone later. Pulling a permission back after they've had it is a conversation.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Keep Admin to two people">
    One is a single point of failure. Four is nobody owning it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Use Viewer generously">
    Most "can you send me a copy" requests are a Viewer seat.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Remember: role is the ceiling, job membership is the door">
    A PM who isn't on the job still can't see it. → [Putting people on a project](/projects/add-people-to-a-project)
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  The built-in roles are **editable**, and you can build your own starting from one of them. → [Custom roles and the Permission Matrix](/people/custom-roles)
</Note>

## Next

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Custom roles" icon="table-list" href="/people/custom-roles">
    Read the matrix before you save.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Field-level permissions" icon="lock" href="/forms/field-settings">
    Hide a rate column from one role.
