# 3: Assign Additional Roles (Optional)

Any account that needs to work directly in Material (investigating, configuring integrations, etc.) is known as a Material admin.

Assign a Material role to each Material Admin. **No** Material admin roles are inherited from your email provider.

There are 15 roles available, described in [Role Descriptions](/learn-more/administration/admin-roles/role-descriptions.md). For deployment, we recommend that you assign one additional Super Admin if possible, in case of account lockout. After deployment, review the [Admin Roles](/learn-more/administration/admin-roles.md) guide to assign other roles as needed.

You can also assign Admin permissions to an entire group, then add accounts to the group to inherit those roles.

## 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.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.material.security/getting-started/deployment-guides/your-first-30-days/3-assign-additional-roles-optional.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
