# Application permissions

> The full catalogue of Nobly Insight application permissions, grouped by area, and what each tier grants.

## The permission catalogue

Application permissions are organised into **areas**, each covering one part of the platform. Within an area, permissions come in [tiers](/permissions/introduction#permission-tiers) — typically **View**, **Manage**, and **Admin** — that build on each other. This page lists every area and what its permissions grant.

You'll see these exact areas and permissions on the [Permissions screen](/permissions/managing-permissions), where you grant them to user groups.

## Identity & access

Who can manage users, groups, and the permissions themselves.
