You can manage permissions through roles. Managers can belong to any number of roles. Managers inherit all permissions enabled for any roles they belong to.

To manage roles via the [CLI](/docs-5-3/docs/using-the-vast-cli), use the following commands.

| Display roles | [role list](/docs-5-3/docs/en/role-list) |
| Display details of specific role | [role show](/docs-5-3/docs/en/role-show) |
