# Assigning a Role to a Person

Users can be added to roles that perform certain functions. Roles are split into subscriber and viewer. A **Subscriber** is a user who can access ScaffoldIQ and make changes to the scaffolds. A **Viewer** is a user who can access ScaffoldIQ but can only view the requests, scaffolds, etc. and cannot make changes other than adding comments.

Before you begin, you will need to know whether this personis a Viewer or Subscriber, and you will need to know what user role each role is assigned to. Subscriber users are assigned to subscriber roles, and view users are assigned viewer roles.

To assign a role to a person.

1. From the Map screen, select People from the left-hand menu. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/ae69c864-58f0-4711-91e1-d1c2f7dff95f/Images/Documentation/image-062BMNQX.png)
