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

To assign permissions to a specific role, navigate to the **Layers** page and hover over the layer for which you want to configure permissions. Click the **Actions** button :inlineImage[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/LWUfsfhqAg8IYSTyeRxdu/MACSotnPcYqIlwCqBnCMW_upload.png" alt caption width="52" height="31"}, then select **Permissions **:inlineImage[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/LWUfsfhqAg8IYSTyeRxdu/4vR5V6HyRi_I6NTEZhsAn_upload.png" alt caption width="27" height="25"}, as shown in the figure below.

Navigate to the Roles tab and select the checkbox :inlineImage[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/LWUfsfhqAg8IYSTyeRxdu/F81-LL2jdcLFukGbViZw__upload.png" alt caption width="24" height="22"} next to the role you want to grant permissions to (Engineering Department in this example). This will grant the role permission to view and identify features in the layer, as shown in the figure below.

Since Jane Smith is a member of the **Engineering Department** role, the **Map** button :inlineImage[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/LWUfsfhqAg8IYSTyeRxdu/lDnIAj3n2aqGTOWPpOrZ7_upload.png" alt caption width="26" height="22"} will be available when she logs in to the application. This allows her to access the map and view the layers for which her role has permissions, including the **Buildings**, **Landmarks**, and **Blocks** layers.
