# 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 %}

***

### Create a custom security role

1. Log in to the Sprinto dashboard.
2. Go to **Data Library > People > Security roles**.
3. Click **Add role**.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.sprinto.com/data-library/people/dashboard-actions/manage-security-roles.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
