***Assigning customised roles to a user/ Inserting a user to a non-admin user group***
{% endembed %}

The ***user allocated to any group other than the Admin Role*** with limited credited permissions gets the ***non-admin user role*** category. The non-admin users may have customized access to platform modules based on the rights given by their administrator.

* Select a non-admin user group from the User Groups list (E.g., Non-Admin Group).
* Open the ***Add Users to Group*****&#x20;panel** and add a specific user/ users to that group.

A user can be assigned a non-admin group using the ***Assign Group to User*** option while completing the user creation/ updation process.

Let us take an example to understand how a non-admin user interacts with the BDB platform displaying the details for a Non-admin user group:

* **App Permissions:** The selected user group does not have permission(s) to access the Admin, Form, and Survey modules.

* **Folder Permissions:** The selected user group does not have permission(s) to ***Add To Favorite, Delete, Link a URL, and Open in a New Tab*** for a Folder.
