# Role Details and Module Permissions | Review User Access Across Modules

View what a role can do and which users are assigned to it.

  This section is view-only. You can’t edit permissions from this page.

## When to use this

Use this when you need to:

* Verify what a role can do before assigning it
* Compare access between roles
* Check which users are assigned to a role
* Review module-specific permissions (e.g., Recruit roles)

## Open role details

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to Roles & Permissions">
    In the left navigation, click **Roles & Permissions**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select a role">
    Click any role (for example, **Organization Owner**, **Admin**, or **Standard Limited**).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review the role details">
    A popup or new tab opens with the role details.
  </Step>

## What you see in role details

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Permissions" icon="shield">
    What actions the role is allowed to perform across the system.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Users in this role" icon="users">
    Everyone currently assigned to the selected role.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

### Permissions

Use this to:

* Understand the role’s access level
* Compare permissions with other roles

### Users in this role

Use this to:

* Confirm who has this access level
* Review how access is distributed across your team

## Module permissions

System roles define overall access. Module permissions define what a role can do inside a specific product (for example, **Mercury Recruit**).

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Module Permissions">
    From **Roles & Permissions**, click **Module Permissions**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review module-specific roles">
    You’ll see module roles and their detailed permissions.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Important behavior

* **System roles** define overall access level
* **Module roles** define actions inside a product
* Changes to a module role apply to **all users assigned to that role**

## What to be careful about

<Warning>
  Apply least-privilege access. Assign the minimum access needed to complete the job.
</Warning>

* Giving higher access than required increases risk
* Skipping module permissions review can cause workflow and access issues
