# View Role Details

**Page Type:** Task Guide\
**Audience:** Super Admin, Admin\
**Status:** Draft\
**Owner:** Compassly Documentation Team\
**Last Verified:** 2026-04-03

## Purpose

Use this guide to open a role and review its permissions, status, and assigned users.

## Before you start

* You must have access to the **Roles** section.
* You must already be on the **Roles** list.
* Built-in **System** roles can be reviewed, but their permissions cannot be manually edited.

## How to get there

1. Log in to Compassly.
2. Select **System settings**.
3. Select **Roles**.

## Steps

1. On the **Roles** list, find the role you want to review.
2. Open the row action menu for that role.
3. Select the available action that opens the role details screen.
4. Review the role title, permission categories, permission toggles, status, and assigned users.
5. If the role is a **System** role, treat the page as reference only.
6. If the role is a **Custom** role and your account has permission to edit it, continue to the edit workflow when needed.

## Role differences

* **Super Admin** and **Admin** can view role details.
* **System** roles can be viewed but cannot be manually edited or deleted.
* For **Custom** roles, available actions may differ depending on your own access level.

## What happens next

After reviewing a role, you can return to the Roles list or continue to create, clone, edit, or delete a custom role.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## 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://compassly.gitbook.io/compassly-docs/administration/system-settings/roles/view-role-details.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.
