System admins

Click [here](https://docs.ops.center/en/article/roles-and-permission) to read about our roles and permission.

As a system administrator, you can now establish default roles for identity providers within your system. These default roles come into play when a new user, who has not been assigned any system-level roles, is directly added to a board. In such cases, the user will be automatically assigned the default role configured at the system level.

To configure default roles for your identity provider, follow these steps:

1\. Open the navigation menu in the top-left corner of your screen and select **System Settings**:

**Security Implications:** Please consider the security implications when selecting a default role. We recommend choosing the 'User' role as the default.
