# Permissions
# Permissions
Each permission is defined by an action and a scope. When evaluating a fine-grained access decision, consider what specific action a user should be allowed to perform, and on what resources (its scope).
A permission is an action and a scope. When creating a fine-grained access control, consider what specific action a user should be allowed to perform, and on what resources (its scope).
To grant permissions to a user, create built-in role assignments. A built-in role assignment is a *modification* to one of the existing built-in roles in Grafana (Viewer, Editor, Admin) For more information, refer to [Built-in role assignments]({{< relref "./roles.md#built-in-role-assignments" >}}).
To grant permissions to a user, you create a built-in role assignment to map a role to a built-in role. A built-in role assignment *modifies* to one of the existing built-in roles in Grafana (Viewer, Editor, Admin). For more information, refer to [Built-in role assignments]({{< relref "./roles.md#built-in-role-assignments" >}}).
To learn more about which permissions are used for which resources, refer to [Resources with fine-grained permissions]({{< relref "./_index.md#resources-with-fine-grained-permissions" >}}).

: The specific action on a resource defines what a user is allowed to perform if they have permission with the relevant action assigned to it.
scope
: The scope describes where an action can be performed, such as reading a specific user profile. In such case, a permission is associated with the scope `users:<userId>` to the relevant role. Also, you can combine multiple scopes by using the `/` delimiter.

## Scope definitions
Note that below list is not exhaustive yet and more scopes will be available with further releases of fine-grained access control.
The following list contains fine-grained access control scopes.
Scope | Description
--- | ---
roles:* | Indicates against what roles an action can be performed. For example, `roles:*` assumes any roles, and `roles:randomuid` assumes only a role with UID `randomuid`.
permissions:delegate | The scope is only applicable for roles associated with the Access Control itself and indicates that you can delegate your permissions only, or a subset of it, by creating a new role or making an assignment.
reports:* | Indicates against what reports an action can be performed.
service:access-control | Only relevant for provisioning and indicates that the action can be performed only for access control provisioning files.
global:users:* | Indicates that action can be performed against users globally.
users:* | Indicates that an action can be performed against users in organization level.
Scopes | Descriptions
--- | ---
roles:* | Restrict an action to a set of roles. For example, `roles:*` matches any role, `roles:randomuid` matches only the role with UID `randomuid` and `roles:custom:reports:{editor,viewer}` matches both `custom:reports:editor` and `custom:reports:viewer` roles.
permissions:delegate | The scope is only applicable for roles associated with the Access Control itself and indicates that you can delegate your permissions only, or a subset of it, by creating a new role or making an assignment.
reports:* | Restrict an action to a set of reports. For example, `reports:*` matches any report and `reports:1` matches the report with id `1`.
service:accesscontrol | Restrict an action to target only the fine-grained access control service. For example, you can use this in conjunction with the `provisioning:reload` or the `status:accesscontrol` actions.
global:users:* | Restrict an action to a set of global users.
users:* | Restrict an action to a set of users from an organization.
