# How To Assign User Roles to Employees

User roles define what actions an employee can perform in Pleo.

Only users with **Administrator** access can assign or modify roles.

## Assign a role to an employee

1. Open the **Pleo application**
2. Navigate to **People**
3. Select the employee
4. Open **Permissions**
5. Assign the appropriate role:
   * Employee
   * Expense reviewer
   * Bookkeeper
   * Administrator
6. Save your changes

## Role assignment considerations

* Only **Admins** can configure integrations and exports
* **Expense reviewers** control when expenses become accounting-ready
* **Bookkeepers** manage accounting configuration and exports

Assign roles carefully to ensure proper approval and export workflows.
