# Custom roles and privileges

When the prebuilt administrator roles aren't sufficient for an organization's needs, admins can create custom roles instead. Custom roles can be a mix of both Admin privileges and privileges for Individual services.&#x20;

### Admin Privileges

Google Workspace has 8 Admin privileges that can be assigned to a user:&#x20;

* Admin API - Allows the user to use the Google Workspace API perform actions for account/user management and updating settings.&#x20;
* Domain Settings - Allows the user to update organization settings and time zone and modify/delete the account.&#x20;
* Groups - Gives access to create and manage Groups and Group settings.
* Organizational Units - Update and manage the organization and its units
* Reports - Gain access to Reports and audit logs
* Security - Control security settings for users such as enforcing/disabling 2-step verification and resetting passwords and keys.&#x20;
* Support - Allows the user to contact Google Workspace Support via phone, chat, or email.&#x20;
* Users - Allows the User to create, modify, and delete users in the organization.&#x20;
