# Set user policies

You can configure a number of [user policy settings](/totara-20/docs/user-policy-settings). These determine which default roles are assigned to various users, as well as aspects of how their information is displayed on the site to various people.

To configure your user policies, follow these steps:

1. Go to *Quick-access menu >* *Permissions > User policies.*
2. Configure the [settings](/totara-20/docs/user-policy-settings) to your preferences.
3. Click **Save changes**.
