Control who is permitted to use or edit your application by configuring roles in App Engine Studio (AES).

## Working with roles {#add-security__section_lzs_cvj_ptb}

You add security to your application by
defining roles. A role is used to limit and control access to your
application. The access that you define for a role is granted to all users who are
assigned to the role.  
Nota:  
If you don't have permission to work with roles for an app, the Add button for the Security section appears, but you can't select it.

An administrator assigns a role to the appropriate user
based on the kind of work that the role permits. For example, to enable a manager
to read and approve employee requests, an administrator would assign a role that
has access to read and update records from the relevant table. The role may also
need access to the portal or workspace where the manager would see the
request.

Application templates automatically add security
to your application. If you use a template to create your application, you can
edit the roles that were added or add different roles.
