# 5.9.1 Add/Create New Role in a Project

This feature allows Project Admin/Moderator to create new roles with customized permissions for team members working on a specific project. This feature is useful when there is a need for a new role not currently available in the system or when the default roles do not meet the project’s specific requirements.

Project managers can create new roles by defining a unique name for the role and specifying the permissions that come with it. Permissions can be customized to grant or restrict access to various project features.

### Pre-conditions to use the Feature:

* Users **must have** an **account** in Onethread.
* Users must be a **part** of a **company**.
