## Fixed role definitions

The following table has the existing built-in fixed role definitions. Other fixed roles might be added by plugins installed in Grafana.
The UUID presented here can be used as an identifier for [Terraform provisioning](ref:rbac-terraform-provisioning).

{{< admonition type="caution" >}}
These UUIDs won't be available if your instance was created before Grafana v10.2.0.

To learn how to use the roles API to determine the role UUIDs, refer to [Manage RBAC roles](ref:rbac-manage-rbac-roles).

### Alerting roles

You can use predefined roles to manage user access to alert rules, alert instances, and alert notification settings and create custom roles to limit user access to alert rules in a folder.

Access to Grafana alert rules is an intersection of many permissions:

- Permission to read a folder. For example, the fixed role `fixed:folders:reader` includes the action `folders:read` and a folder scope `folders:id:`.
- Permission to query **all** data sources that a given alert rule uses. If a user cannot query a given data source, they cannot see any alert rules that query that data source.

There is only one exclusion at this moment. Role `fixed:alerting.provisioning:writer` does not require user to have any additional permissions and provides access to all aspects of the alerting configuration via special provisioning API.

For more information about the permissions required to access alert rules, refer to [Create a custom role to access alerts in a folder](ref:plan-rbac-rollout-strategy-create-a-custom-role-to-access-alerts-in-a-folder).
