# Why are Roles so Important?

It is important that every user is assigned to a tenant. This usually happens automatically when the user is invited to a portfolio in ABB Ability™ BuildingPro. A user without an assigned tenant cannot see anything or perform any actions in BuildingPro Suites.

{% endhint %}

### Why is that?

If a user is not assigned to a tenant, no role applies to that user in that tenant.

Without an assigned role in the current tenant, the user cannot see any menu items or perform any actions there.
