# Users

In Zenskar, a **user** is someone who can access the web application by authenticating their credentials. [Roles must be assigned to a user](/docs/20240301/security/role-based-access-control/roles). Roles grant users permissions to perform tasks. A role is a collection of permissions.

An existing user can be granted the following permissions related to user management:

* **Can Read User**:  grants an existing user the permission to **view** the other users in their organization.
* **Can Write User**: grants an existing user the permission to **create** users in their organization.
* **Can Delete User**: grants an existing user the permission to **delete** users in their organization.

## Assigning role and permissions to a user

A user can be assigned only one role. However, a user can be granted more permissions than those associated with the role assigned to them.
