# About custom resource roles

> Customize permissions granted on an individual resource with custom resource roles

export const Alert = ({type, title, children}) => {
  const variant = ["info", "success", "warning", "danger", "note"].includes(type) ? type : "note";
  return <div className={`alert alert--${variant}`}>
      <div className="alert-icon" />
      <div className="alert-content">
        {title && <div className="alert-title">{title}</div>}
        <div className="alert-body">{children}</div>
      </div>
    </div>;
};

<Alert type="info">
  **Who can use this feature?**

  <br />

  Organization **Owners**, **Admins**, and other users with the `roles:manage` permission
</Alert>

Custom resource roles let you gain more control over the permissions users have to manage individual Applications, Integrations, Workflows, and Scheduled Jobs.

For example, you can create custom roles like:

<div style={{ marginLeft: '1.25rem' }}>
  | Custom role | Description                                                                                                      | Resource    | Permissions                                      |
  | ----------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
  | QA          | Lets the QA team review application changes using commit previews, but doesn't give them access to the live app. | Application | `apps:preview`                                   |
  | Maintainer  | Grants permissions to edit an integration's credentials while not letting them delete or share the integration   | Integration | `integrations:update`<br /> `integrations:build` |
  | Contributor | Can make updates to assigned Workflows, but can't deploy their changes.                                          | Workflow    | `workflows:update`                               |
</div>

* You can make this role what everyone receives when new resources are created. See [Resource base permissions](/admin/org-administration/resource-roles/base-permissions)
* You can make the role the one assigned to resource creators. See [Manage creator roles](/admin/org-administration/resource-roles/creator-roles)

## Precedence for different levels of access

Role and permissions are additive. If a person is given different levels of access through different avenues the user will have the sum of all access grants.

For example, if the organization Owner assigns a user the [End-user organization role](/admin/org-administration/org-roles#builtin-organization-roles), and then an app admin gives the user the [Developer](/admin/org-administration/resource-roles#applications) role on their Application, the user will be able to edit the application shard with them even though they cannot create their own Applications.
