Hi @dmiller Thank you for reaching out to us! In essence, a role is a set/collection of permissions that you assign to your users and our [RBAC feature](https://auth0.com/docs/manage-users/access-control/rbac) is designed to handle the management of user permissions as roles. Once RBAC is enabled for your API, it is possible to [assign users specific permissions](https://auth0.com/docs/manage-users/access-control/configure-core-rbac/rbac-users/assign-permissions-to-users) via the Management API or the Auth0 Dashboard, although adding permissions directly to a user circumvents the benefits of role-based access control (RBAC) and is not typically recommended. I was able to find these additional resources that outline this use-case and also how to add permissions to the Access/ID Tokens: - [Assign permissions using Actions Post User Registration flow](https://community.auth0.com/t/assign-permissions-using-actions-post-user-registration-flow/88455); - [Add Roles and Permissions to the ID Token Using Actions](https://support.auth0.com/center/s/article/add-roles-and-permissions-to-the-id-token-using-actions). Hope this helped! Gerald --- _[View the full topic](https://community.auth0.com/t/assigning-default-permissions-to-user-on-login-with-auth0-actions/197831)._
