# Assign Permissions

There are five default roles in Reveal: Admin, Client Admin, Power Reviewer, Processing User, and Reviewer. Each role has its own default set of **permissions**, which can be edited if needed.

Permissions are managed in the Roles page by navigating to **Project Admin** > **Teams + Roles** > **Roles** from the project navigation sidebar.

> Our [Permissions Matrix (Default)](/reveal/docs/permissions-matrix-default) article contains a table of all permissions, including descriptions for what features each permission grants access to if checked. Notably, the Administrator role is assigned all permissions by default, and the Company and Instance Admins rolls have all permissions but are not configurable.
