# Managing user roles as an administrator in Amazon Q Developer in chat applications
User roles - administrators

Administrators can unmap user roles from channel members' chat client IDs from the **User permissions** page in the Amazon Q Developer in chat applications console. Administrators can also require user roles by enabling a user role requirement in the **User permissions** page. This requirement can be applied to all workspaces and channels or to individual channel configurations. For more information on user role requirements, see [User role requirement](understanding-permissions.md#role-reqs).

**Note**  
Administrators can't map user roles. Only channel members have this ability.
