> How to add users and assign roles and access in Exterview: a traditional RBAC task, no AI involved.

**Core.** User and role management is a traditional role-based access control task, not an AI feature.

## Before you start

You need administrative permission to manage users. Exterview provides nine system roles, from Admin to Viewer.

## Steps

  </Step>

  <Step title="Invite a user">
    Add their full name, work email, role, and department, then send the
    invite. See [How to Assign Roles and Access](/guides/setup-roles-access)
    for what each role can do.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Manage status">
    Deactivate or reactivate an active user, or resend or cancel a pending
    invite. The invited person sets their own password from the invite link
    and signs in.

## FAQs

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Is this an AI feature?">
    No. This is standard RBAC, the same kind of access control any enterprise platform uses.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How many roles are there?">
    Nine system roles, from Admin to Viewer, each with its own fixed permission
    matrix, plus custom roles you create yourself with permissions you set.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Is every permission fully enforced today?">
    The system checks permissions for the core areas you set up, but fine-grained enforcement in some areas is still being completed. If you notice access that does not match what you configured, contact your Exterview representative.
