On the Roles & Permissions page in the Admin App, there are a few dozen different permissions. Many of them are named in a way that is quite clear but one in particular I’m curious about is the `can_create_records` permission and how it relates to all the other `can_create_xxx` permissions. ![56%20PM](https://communityhealthtoolkit.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/1X/b02d624256b3e052cb19c7fc479a821624bd4ca1.png) Also, I’ve looked in medic-docs and haven’t been able to find any documentation on the different permissions. Does this exist somewhere already? ---

Version 3.8.0 of the Core Framework will include a description for each permission on the administration page which will help ([issue](https://github.com/medic/cht-core/issues/5440)). The descriptions of the `can_create_` permissions are… can\_create\_people: Allowed to create new people. can\_create\_places: Allowed to create new places. can\_create\_records: Allowed to access the APIs to create reports. can\_create\_users: Allowed to create users.
