# Role Templates

This page lists the GDAP role templates you have created. A template is a named set of admin roles, and it is what you select when generating an invite or onboarding a tenant, so every relationship is built with a consistent set of permissions.

Each role in a template is backed by a security group in your partner tenant. CIPP creates those groups for you as you build the template, so this page is the only one you normally need: add your technicians to the groups and they gain the matching delegated access in your customer tenants.

If you have no templates yet, the page offers to create the **CIPP Defaults** template, which contains the 15 roles listed on the [Recommended Roles](/setup/maintaining-cipp/recommended-roles.md) page, or to build a custom one. If you have templates but none named `CIPP Defaults`, a warning offers to create it - so the prompt returns if you delete or rename that template.

Use **Add Template** to create a template via [Add Template](/user-documentation/tenant/gdap-management/role-templates/add.md), or **Group Mappings** to review the underlying role-to-group mappings on [Group Mappings](/user-documentation/tenant/gdap-management/role-templates/mappings.md).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.cipp.app/user-documentation/tenant/gdap-management/role-templates.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
