# Roles

Roles is used to categorize users in different ways and could be used for different purposes in Flow.\
Roles can for example be used to describe an organisational structure or to reflect different types of access groups.

A User can be connected to one or many Roles. In order to structure the roles, many different Role Trees can be created.\
There are two types of inheritance methods for each Role Tree; Inherit Children and Inherit Parent.

Workflows and inboxes are added into menus, roles are connected to menus and users get roles, and by that users getting access to workflows and inboxes.
