+title: Using Permissions in Custom Plugins
+publishedDate: '2024-12-18T21:00:00.0Z'
+description: How to configure and manage permissions and policies for use in Custom Plugins in Roadie.
+---
+
+## Introduction
+
+**This feature is currently in the process of being rolled out. If you want access, please contact our support or sales teams.**
+
+You can choose to make use of custom permissions in Roadie as part of a custom plugin. This tutorial assumes you have already created and published a [custom plugin](/docs/custom-plugins/overview/).
+
+In order to make use of a custom permission:
+
+1. Add `@backstage/plugin-permission-react` and `@backstage/plugin-permission-common` to the plugin's `package.json` file.
+
+2. Add the following code to a React component.
+
+```tsx
+import React from 'react';
+...
+import { RequirePermission } from '@backstage/plugin-permission-react';
+import { createPermission } from '@backstage/plugin-permission-common';
+
+const permission = createPermission({
+  name: 'see-content',
+  attributes: {
+    action: "read"
+  }
+});
+
+export const ExampleComponent = () => (
+  ...
+  <RequirePermission permission={permission} errorPage={(
+    <Typography variant="body1">
+      Not allowed to see-content.
+    </Typography>
+  )}>
+    <Typography variant="body1">
+        Allowed to see content
+    </Typography>
+  </RequirePermission>
+  ...
+);
+```
+
+3. In the Roadie UI, click Administration > Settings > User Management > Policies and "Add Policy". Give the policy a name and description and set the permission to "see-content" as defined by the name in the code above and save.

+
+4. Assign the Policy to a role.
