# Updated API - The Roles API now supports custom roles

The [Roles API](https://qlik.dev/apis/rest/roles/) manages [tenant-level security roles](https://qlik.dev/manage/roles/)
and user default customization.

New endpoints allow you to create, update, and delete custom roles, as well as
configure the default scopes assigned to all users in a tenant via `userDefault`.

For more information:

- Review the [Manage custom roles](https://qlik.dev/manage/roles/custom-roles) tutorial.
- See all available [custom role and user default scopes](https://qlik.dev/manage/roles/scopes/).
- Review the [Roles API specification](https://qlik.dev/apis/rest/roles/).
