# Change System Role Assignment

## Goal​

To assign a system role to a system user account.

## Background Information​

System roles allow you to enable access to system-wide functions for a system user. You can assign both global and group permissions to a system role.

### Prerequisites​

- The system user account exists in the system.
- The system role that you wish to assign is ranked lower than your own.
- You have the permission to edit system user accounts: ​2000 System Administration: View and edit all system users​.
- You have permission to change system role assignments: ​222 User Administration: Change system role of other users​. If this permission is not granted to your system role, contact your customer representative.

## Procedure

1. In the ​main navigation​, click ​*User Management​* *> ​System Users > System Users​*.
2. Next to the system user, click ![](https://cdn.document360.io/554b9b98-6720-4d8b-9919-c7b203d72648/Images/Documentation/b44b8244-553a-4d54-8674-8d34f65cb378.png) ** *​Edit*​.
