# Add or remove AI roles for a user

AI roles determine which [built-in AI capabilities](urn:resource:component:1710810/section-id235222959335807) a user can access in the Sitecore Experience Platform, such as content generation, item translation, page translation, content extraction, and media metadata extraction.

Users can only use these capabilities if their assigned roles include the required AI permissions. Sitecore administrators automatically have access to all AI capabilities and do not do not need specific AI role assignments.

For general guidance about managing user roles, see [Add or remove a security account from a role](https://doc.sitecore.com/xp/en/developers/102/platform-administration-and-architecture/add-a-user-to-a-role.html).

> [!note]
> **Before you begin**
> Make sure you have administrator privileges in Sitecore.

To add or remove AI roles for a user:

1. On the Sitecore Launchpad, click **User Manager**.
2. Select the relevant user, and click **Edit**.
3. In the **Select Roles** dialog, choose the appropriate AI roles and click **Add**:
    - `sitecore\Sitecore AiClient Field Content Assistant` - access to AI-assisted content generation.
    - `sitecore\Sitecore AiClient Item Translation Assistant` - access to AI-assisted item translation.
    - `sitecore\Sitecore AiClient Page Translation Assistant` - access to AI-assisted page translation.
    - `sitecore\Sitecore AiClient Tree Translation Assistant` - access to AI-assisted tree translation.
    - `sitecore\Sitecore AiClient Item Create Content Extraction` - access to AI-assisted content extraction from input sources.
    - `sitecore\Sitecore AiClient Item Extract Media Metadata` - access to AI-assisted media metadata extraction.

    > [!tip]
    > Press SHIFT or CTRL to select multiple roles, or double-click a role to add or remove it.

4. When all relevant roles are selected, click **OK**.

The user is now assigned to the selected AI roles and will be able to use the corresponding [AI capabilities](https://doc.sitecore.com/xp/en/users/102/sitecore-experience-platform/ai-in-experience-platform.html "AI in Experience Platform") in the Content Editor and Experience Editor.
