## Assign fixed or custom roles using the HTTP API
This section describes how to:
- Assign a fixed role to a user, team or service account as an organization administrator.
**Before you begin:**
- [Plan your RBAC rollout strategy](ref:plan-rbac-rollout-strategy).
- Identify the fixed roles that you want to assign to the user, team or service account.
For more information about available fixed roles, refer to [RBAC role definitions](ref:rbac-role-definitions).
- Ensure that your own user account has the correct permissions:
- If you are assigning permissions to a user, team or service account within an organization, you must have organization administrator or server administrator permissions.
- If you are assigning permissions to a user who belongs to multiple organizations, you must have server administrator permissions.
- Your Grafana user can also assign fixed role if it has either the `fixed:roles:writer` fixed role assigned to the same organization to which you are assigning RBAC to a user, or a custom role with `users.roles:add` and `users.roles:remove` permissions.
- Your own user account must have the roles you are granting. For example, if you would like to grant the `fixed:users:writer` role to a team, you must have that role yourself.
**To assign a fixed role to a user or service account:**
Refer to the [RBAC HTTP API for user role assignment](/docs/grafana/<GRAFANA_VERSION>/developers/http_api/access_control/#add-a-user-role-assignment).
The service account ID can be used in place of the user ID.
**To assign a fixed role to a team:**
Refer to the [RBAC HTTP API for team role assignment](/docs/grafana/<GRAFANA_VERSION>/developers/http_api/access_control/#add-a-team-role-assignment).
## Assign fixed or custom roles to a team using provisioning
Instead of using the Grafana role picker, you can use file-based provisioning to assign fixed roles to teams. If you have a large number of teams, provisioning can provide an easier approach to assigning and managing role assignments.

You can assign roles to a Grafana service account to control access for the associated service account tokens.
You can assign roles to a service account using the Grafana UI or via the API. For more information about assigning a role to a service account via the API, refer to [Update service account using the HTTP API](ref:api-update-service-account).
