* The ability to restrict certain users from accessing administrative capabilities like adding new users
* Predefined <Tooltip tip="Tasks and responsibilities based on job description and position within an organization. A user's role is often used to define access to functionality and privileges to perform specific tasks and operations.">role</Tooltip> that range from read-only access to full administrative capabilities so managers can easily select the appropriate role for a new user

There are three roles in USM Central:

* **Read-Only**: You can access views and search the system but cannot make system changes that impact other users.
* **Analyst**: You can view and search the system and perform all the same tasks as the Read-Only role, and also view alarms.
* **Manager**: This role enables Analyst permissions, and also enables you to update deployments, add or configure credentials for users, and view alarms.

You can see the predefined roles in USM Central in the following table.
