# Role Assignment Actions

The **Role Assignment Action** adds, modifies, or removes roles associated with the submission when an event occurs on a form. A common use case for the Role Assignment action is adding the action on a Registration form to grant users certain roles after they register. Those roles will then work in tandem with Form.io's authentication system.
