# User roles and permissions

> An overview of the roles available to Risk Engineer portal users in TruRisk.

Every user in the TruRisk Risk Engineer portal is assigned a role that determines what they can access and do. Roles are assigned when a user is created and can be updated at any time by an Admin.

## Roles

There are two roles in the Risk Engineer portal:

**Risk Engineer** — The standard role for engineers who conduct surveys and manage client records. Risk Engineers can:

* Create and manage client and site records
* Create and manage surveys
* Raise and manage recommendations
* Schedule activities
* View reports and risk classifications

**Risk Engineer Admin** — An elevated role that includes all Risk Engineer permissions, plus:

* Add and manage users
* Create and manage [Teams](/team-management)
* Manage account-level settings

<Info>
  Only users with the **Risk Engineer Admin** role can add new users and manage roles. If you need your role changed, contact your organisation's Admin.

## How roles appear

A user's role is visible in the **Users** list under the **Role** column, and on the individual user record under **User Permissions**.

Users can hold one role at a time. Role changes take effect immediately.
