# Managing Profile Permissions in Skara
***Profile Permissions*** in Skara let you define what specific groups of users can view and do within your account. Each user is assigned a profile that governs their access to modules, features, and data, including pipeline-level visibility, and provides enhanced control across the account.
Topics Covered:
* [User Profiles](#user-profiles)
* [How to Add a Profile](https://support.salesmate.io/hc/en-us/articles/19326369490457-Managing-Profile-Permissions-in-Salesmate#h_01H2AED41MQM37G0C9Y81XQ89P)

### User Profiles:
Skara comes pre-figured with two Profiles
* **Admin**
* **Standard**
#### **Admin Profile (Noneditable):**
* Admins have complete control across the platform.
* These users have full control and visibility over the system, except for private emails.
* Skara allows having multiple admins in the system.
* The primary registered user who signs up with Skara is an admin user by default.
* Admins can further delegate administrative privileges to other users
### **Standard Profile:**
* This profile is a starting point for regular users. It includes:
* Users can be assigned either **Standard Rights** or custom rights created beyond the default options.
* **Standard Rights** are assigned by default when a user is added.
* These rights can be modified later based on user needs and responsibilities.
* Standard Rights function as editable profiles.
### **How to add a Profile:**
To add a new profile,
* Navigate to your **Profile Icon** in the top right corner.
* Go to **Setup**
* Click on **Users & Security**.
* Head over to **Profile Permissions**
* Click on **Add New Profile** in the top right corner.
* Add **Profile Name, Clone Profile,** and **Profile Description**.
* Click on the **Add** button.
### Understanding Permission Levels
In the **Edit Profile** screen, you can define the exact actions users can perform across modules like Contacts, Deals, Pipelines, Tickets, etc.
* View Permissions: Controls what records a user can see within a module.
* **None:** Users cannot view any records.
* **Own only:** Users can only see records they own.
* **Own & hierarchy:** Users can view records they own plus those owned by their subordinates.
* **Any records:** Full visibility into all records, regardless of ownership.
* **Create Permissions**: Its toggle button controls whether a user can add new records.
* **Toggle Off**: Users cannot create new records.
* **Toggle On**: Users can create new records in the module.
* **Edit Permissions**: Controls whether a user can modify records.
* **None**: No edit access.
* **Own records**: Can edit only records they own.
* **Own & hierarchy records**: Can edit their own records and those of subordinates.
* **Any visible records**: Can edit any records that are visible to them.
* **Delete Permissions**: Controls whether a user can remove records.
* **None**: No delete access.
* **Own records**: Users can delete only the records they own.
* **Own & hierarchy records**: Users can delete their own and subordinate records.
* **Any visible records**: Can delete any records visible to them.
**Note:** When you define security roles in your organization and enable the **"Share data with peers"** option, the data is shared with peers only if they have access to **"Owned & hierarchy records"** for viewing, editing, or deleting.
**Note:** You can also set the **Deal’s Pipeline User Level access** for the specific profile directly under the profile permissions. For this, you must enable [Pipeline-Level permissions](https://support.salesmate.io/hc/en-us/articles/44511091257753) under the Deal module.
