# Create Role

A **role** bundles one or more policies and is assigned to users to control what they can do — this is Norbix's role-based access control (RBAC). Roles are project-scoped and managed in the Membership module. This method creates the role; the response returns its id.

This method is on the **Hub** surface (`norbix.hub.membership`) — call it from admin tooling or IaC.

{% hint style="info" %}
These examples assume the SDK is installed and your credentials are set as environment variables — each client reads them automatically, so the constructors below take no arguments. See [Install a Norbix SDK](/sdks-and-cli/install.md).
