# Assignment Roles

## Overview

**Assignment Roles** are identifiers in Decisions that allow administrators to add Account/s and Group/s as a **Role**. These Roles can be anything based on the use case, such as Developers, Testers, and Managers.

For example, a Role might be "Development Team Lead," which includes the "Developers" group and specific individual accounts for team leaders. This Role then can be used for specific assignments like a Dev Task being reopened by a Tester or a Feature request being reported by any customers.

It is important to note that to access data in the **Assignment Role Summary Report**, Assignment Roles need to be added to Folders. This connection between Assignment Roles and Folders is crucial for generating and visualizing information in the **Assignment Role Summary Report.**Users can access the **Assignment Role Report**by navigating to the desired **Designer Folder > Settings > Security > Assignment Roles.**
