# Space roles

Space roles are the roles which provide access to resources on a space-by-space basis.

Space roles are assigned via the [Spaces API](https://qlik.dev/apis/rest/spaces/).
Available roles vary by space type. Roles are case-sensitive, and
the API name may differ from the name in the user interface.
