# Managing user roles in Plesk

> Discover how to manage Plesk user roles, configure access levels, and understand predefined roles.

This article describes how to create and manage user roles for a Plesk account. User roles enable you to configure different access levels for your users.

Plesk automatically creates several predefined user roles. You can modify these default user roles, or you can create your own custom user roles.

<Note>
  Plesk is no longer included with new hosting.com plans, but it is still available on legacy Managed WordPress accounts. You can install Plesk manually on unmanaged VPS and Dedicated servers.
