+The NGINX One Console uses the **[F5 Distributed Cloud User Management](https://docs.cloud.f5.com/docs-v2/administration/how-tos/user-mgmt)** system for access controls and user permissions.
+General information can be found on the User Management documentation for **[F5 Distributed Cloud](https://docs.cloud.f5.com/docs-v2/administration/how-tos/user-mgmt)**. This document provides guidance and reference material for utilizing those features to grant and restrict access within the NGINX One Console.

+Beyond [Default roles]({{< relref "/nginx-one/rbac/roles.md" >}}), you may need to set up custom roles. For convenience, we include a list of API groups that you could use to specify permissions for custom roles.
+
+These are not NGINX One APIs.
+
+## F5 API groups for NGINX One
+
+The following table lists the **[F5 XC roles](https://docs.cloud.f5.com/docs-v2/administration/how-tos/user-mgmt/roles)** that you can use. These are narrowly scoped API Groups that align with all the features and functionality within the NGINX One Console. These groups can help you create custom roles tailored to your specific needs.

+{{< note >}}If you create custom roles using the more granular API Groups, users may not have access until you add the corresponding API Groups to their roles.{{< /note >}}

+## Default roles
+
+We provide three default **[roles](https://docs.cloud.f5.com/docs-v2/administration/how-tos/user-mgmt/roles)** that can be used for providing various access levels to the NGINX One Console. These roles will be automatically updated as new features are added to the NGINX One Console. Default roles can be scoped to specific namespaces.
+
+### Admin
+
+The Admin role, identified as <code>f5xc-nginx-one-admin</code>, provides full read and write access to all endpoints and features within the NGINX One Console.
+
+### User
+
+Our standard User role, listed as <code>f5xc-nginx-one-user</code> in the role list, provides read and write access to all endpoints and features, save for those considered to be administrator level. An example of an administrator level feature would be **[Instance Settings](https://docs.nginx.com/nginx-one/how-to/nginx-configs/clean-up-unavailable-instances/)** where unavailable instance clean up logic is set.
+
+### Monitor
+
+Our read only or Monitor role, <code>f5xc-nginx-one-monitor</code>, grants read only access to all non-administrator features and endpoints within the NGINX One Console.
