# Manage Security Roles
Security roles in Sprinto enable you to assign responsibility for various compliance and security activities—such as infrastructure, HR, privacy, and infosec. You can assign default roles, create new ones, or edit/delete custom roles. Each role must be assigned to a Sprinto admin user.
{% hint style="info" %}
Only users marked as *admins* in Sprinto can be assigned to a security role.
{% endhint %}
