Creating custom roles with Optimizely Configured Commerce and Opti ID involves a few steps to ensure proper permissions and access. Custom roles created in Configured Commerce do not automatically sync with the Admin Center, and vice-versa. You must create and manage them in both systems independently.

1. Create a [custom role in the Admin Console](https://app.archbee.com/docs/YajW2uaWaQljHEqcQRQo9/zYJbAhbkPn2cYD08Fu-Nz#FIFZ3) starting with ISC\_ or CMS\_.
2. Set permissions for the custom role in the [Application Dictionary.](https://app.archbee.com/docs/YajW2uaWaQljHEqcQRQo9/zYJbAhbkPn2cYD08Fu-Nz#mXzaK)
3. Create the same [custom role in the Admin Center.](https://app.archbee.com/docs/LY6qK1Tfwiwdl5TcCMAyB/dpoq7s861EWbaBXEpc8Iv#y9cd5)
4. [Assign the role to a user](https://app.archbee.com/docs/LY6qK1Tfwiwdl5TcCMAyB/afJzJCmm5TkQ4CDpUlXQh#8hIUU) in the Admin Center.
5. Log in with that user to the Admin Console. The user gets permissions from the created role, which you can see in account details.
