# Permission sets

Group permissions into reusable Reader, Operator, Contributor, or custom permission sets for vaults, folders, and entries in Remote Desktop Manager.

Permissions can be grouped in ***Permission sets***. It is possible to create custom sets manually or use the default sets. They are managed via Remote Desktop Manager in ***Administration – System settings – Vault management – Permission sets***.

### Default permission sets

Three permission sets are created by default: ***Reader***, ***Operator***, and ***Contributor***. They cannot be edited or deleted.

* ***Reader***: Includes the ***View*** and ***View sensitive information*** permissions.
* ***Operator***: Includes the ***Connect (execute)***, ***View***, ***View sensitive information*** permissions.
* ***Contributor***: Includes all available permissions.

### Custom permission sets

Create a new set that suits your specific needs:

1. In ***Administration – System settings – Vault management – Permission sets***, click on the ***New*** button.
2. Give a ***Name*** to your custom set and check each permission you want included in the set.
3. Click ***OK***. You can now see your custom permission set alongside the default ones in the main view. At any time you can ***Edit*** or ***Delete*** it using the corresponding buttons.
4. Click ***OK*** again to save your changes.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/ribbon-menu-bar/administration/system-settings/vault-management/permission-sets.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
