<p id="docs-ai-summary-content">Admins and authorized agents can manage custom roles by viewing and editing permissions and assignments. You can modify role details, ensuring unique names, and delete roles if no agents are assigned. This flexibility helps tailor roles to your team's needs, enhancing support operations. Remember, you can't change your own role assignments or permissions if you're managing roles.</p>
