# System Roles | Reference

## Intro

There are five system roles in Domo:

* Admin
* Privileged\*
* Editor
* Participant
* Social

*\*Privileged is the default role for new users in Domo unless an admin [changes the default role](/docs/s/article/360043438973).*

Each system role includes various grants, or specific permissions, to parts of the Domo platform and to perform various tasks. When a person is assigned a system role, they are given the grants included with that role.

While you can't edit a system role, you can [duplicate](/docs/s/article/360043438973)

a system role, make changes to it, and save it as a new custom role. To learn more about creating other custom roles and assigning grants, see [Manage Roles](/docs/s/article/360043438973).

This article describes the differences between each of the five system roles. Social gives the most basic access—each subsequent role includes all the same grants as the role below it plus additional grants. The Admin role gives access to nearly all available grants. Learn more about [Admin](#admin) below.

## Social

Social is the most basic system role. It only allows access to [Buzz](/docs/s/article/360042925574), [user profiles](https://domo-support.domo.com/s/topic/0TO5w000000ZaoLGAS/user-profile?language=en_US), and [Projects and Tasks](https://domo-support.domo.com/s/topic/0TO5w000000Zao5GAC/projects-and-tasks?language=en_US).

Social users can subscribe to existing [alerts](/docs/s/article/360043430533) and create OAuth clients for access tokens to authenticate to the Domo platform API.

In the web version of Domo, social users cannot open dashboards to view included cards.

## Compare Participant, Editor, and Privileged Roles

The Participant, Editor, and Privileged roles include all Social role access. This table describes which additional access each role includes.

<Note>
  **Note:** Privileged is the default role for new Domo users unless [changed](/docs/s/article/360043438973) by an admin.
