# Assign roles to user

The match roles process often results in new security roles. To access Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain Management, Enterprise edition, users must be assigned to security roles. This procedure guides you to the pages where you can:

- [Assign users to roles](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/fin-ops-core/fin-ops/sysadmin/assign-users-security-roles) in several ways.
- [Assign roles to users](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/fin-ops-core/fin-ops/sysadmin/create-new-users).

The role assignment is validated automatically to verify if it complies with the segregation of duties rules. If enhanced segregation of duties rules are enabled, the role assignment is validated against the enhanced segregation of duties rules. If dynamic snapshots are enabled, the role assignments are automatically updated in the latest snapshot.
