# Add or remove a security account from a role

When you have created a new role, you can add users to the new role, or you can make the new role a member of another role. In Sitecore, you can make any security account (users or roles) a member of a role. To make a security account a member of a role:

1. In the Role Manager, click the role that you want to add a security account to and then click **Members**.

    > To make the selected role a member of another role, click Member Of, and click the roles that you want this role to be a member of.
