# Managing Main roles


# What are Main roles?

**Main roles** are basically the roles within your organization that you want to be highlighted in your circles, as they might be the driving force or even the structure base of your circle.

📌  **Note**: All members assigned to Main roles are [core members](https://help.holaspirit.com/en/article/what-is-a-core-member-or-decision-maker-of-a-circle-1iavpvl/) by default.

# How to define the Main roles in your organization?

👤 Only **Admins** can access and manage the organization's circle settings.

⚠️ **Important**: [Core roles](https://help.holaspirit.com/en/article/understanding-core-roles-161n614/) must first be defined in the [organization's Circle settings](https://help.holaspirit.com/en/article/how-to-configure-circle-settings-for-my-organization-1ehcm9w/). You can only select the roles from the Core roles you've chosen. If no Core roles are in place, no roles will show for you to select.  


To define the **Main roles** in your organization:

* Click on your profile icon and select **Administration**
* In the **Circles** section, access on **Circle settings**
* Scroll down to the **Main roles** section
* In the drop-down list, select the core roles you want to define as **Main roles**
* Click **Save** to confirm

The roles selected will show under **Main roles**, at the top of the role list, in all the circles of your organization.

# How to define Main roles at the circle level?

👤 Only Circle Admins can access and manage their circle's settings.

Because not all teams work the same way, circles can personalize their circle settings to fit their way of working. By modifying its own settings, a circle becomes independent and all current and future circle settings defined at the organization level won't apply.

**Only Admins can re-synchronize a circle's settings** with the ones defined in Administration using the Circles Dashboard. 

**This means that the Main roles defined for the organization don't apply and the circle can define its own Main roles.**

To define **Main roles** for your circle:

* Go to the **circle page**
* Click on the **three dots** in the top right and select **Settings**
* Go to the **General** tab
* In the **Main roles** section, select the role(s) you want to be highlighted from all the roles existing in the circle
* Click **Save** to confirm

📌  **Note**: To remove a Main role, simply click on the "**x**" next to it.
