# Configure RBAC Roles

This guide explains how to assign RBAC roles to users in the Check Point Portal.

RBAC enables administrators to control which actions users can perform within the platform.

Available roles:

* Admin
* Security Manager
* Operator (NOC)
* Read Only
* Monitor Read Only

{% hint style="info" %}
**Permission Inheritance**

If a user is assigned multiple roles, the highest permission level applies.

For example:

* A higher-privileged Global Role overrides lower service-role restrictions.
* When multiple service roles are assigned, the user receives the most permissive access available across those roles.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://waf-doc.inext.checkpoint.com/how-to/configure-rbac-roles.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
