# About user roles In Microsoft FrontPage Server Extensions 2002, the Web site administrator assigns a user to a role to manage the user's rights and permissions on the Web site. Every user of a Web site must be assigned to at least one role and can be assigned to multiple roles. The Web site administrator assigns a user to one or more roles when the user is added to the Web site.

| Custom roles
The Web site administrator can create custom roles that include specific user rights.
