# Roles Roles can be used to set up a permissions structure for your project that isn’t based on token holdings. If you’d like to assign or elect specific members to be the designated proposal creators, you can use roles for that purpose. You can also use roles to pay project members or vendors. Individuals assigned to roles can visit the roles pages to claim from any payment streams that have been assigned to them. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
