# Roles
# What are roles?
Roles are Rift's alliance permission system. Similar to Discord roles, roles have a hierarchy and certain permissions given to its members. These permissions allow the user to perform certain actions in the alliance like viewing the alliance bank's balance and reviewing withdraw requests.
# Why should I use roles?
If you want to do anything banking-related or more specific alliance management actions then you need to set up a handful of roles. Thankfully, you can find a guide to assembling a simple role structure here.
# How can I make my own roles?
Check out the guide here on setting up a custom alliance role.
# Permissions
WARNING
Be careful who you give the Leadership
permission to, members with
the permission bypass all permission checks and restrictions and
can create/manage roles with any permissions at any place in the
hierarchy.
