#### How to Configure

1. Go to **Settings > Users**. To add a new user, click **Invite User**. To update an existing user, click **Edit Role**. See [Invite Users](/en/it-management/tutorial/93a9bikaqq-user) for the invitation flow.

### Types of Roles

<h4 id="basic-roles">
  Basic Roles
</h4>

The following basic roles are available on this service.

<Info>
  * If you invite a user without assigning any role, the minimum role (`Essential`) is automatically granted, which only allows integration operations.
  * The **Integrations** menu is visible to all roles. Any role can perform integration operations on this service, but the user also needs admin-level permissions on the target service for the integration to succeed.
</Info>

**Setup steps (to let a user manage specific services)**

1. Check **Service Manager** under Advanced Roles.
2. Uncheck **Allow access to all services**.
