Besides these differences these users also have different accesses rights in our menu. Let's have a closer look.

A normal user wil only see a part of our menu on the left. Also some sub sections of the menu will not be visible. An ```Admin``` user will have more rights than a regular user and will be able to make some configuration changes in Zabbix. A ```Super Admin``` user will have unlimted right and see every part of the menu. The only way to limit a ```Super Admin``` will be by making use of roles. Something we cover later.

- A ```Super Admin``` can access all parts of the menu. The user will have read/write access to all host and template groups. Access can't be revoked by denying access to groups like with a normal admin.

This table gives an overview of all the permissions a Zabbix user, admin and super admin have:

## User Roles

User roles have been in Zabbix since version 5.2 and make our live more easy by allowing us to make some custom adjustments to the standard defind user types in Zabbix.

???+ warning
Be aware the no permissions can be added to user roles only permissions can be revoked.
