In this section, basemap permissions will be assigned at the role level, allowing all users assigned to that role to inherit its permissions.

To configure role-level permissions, navigate to the **Layers** page and hover over the basemap layer you want to manage. Click the **Actions** button :inlineImage[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/LWUfsfhqAg8IYSTyeRxdu/YbkkrJ5ztg_MiReFQ_i7v_upload.png" alt caption width="52" height="31"}, then select **Permissions **:inlineImage[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/LWUfsfhqAg8IYSTyeRxdu/pO3cG3jt36_ILp1MS9Fvp_upload.png" alt caption width="27" height="25"}, as shown in the figure below.

This will allow all users in this role to view the basemap.
