If a team has the security manager role, people with admin access to the team and a specific repository can change the team's level of access to that repository but cannot remove the access.

## Managing security managers in your organization

You can assign the pre-defined security manager role to either an organization team or directly to an organization member. Larger organizations may want to create a dedicated team for security management. This approach is especially useful if you want to assign additional permissions to your security experts.

For information about assigning roles to users and teams, see "[AUTOTITLE](/organizations/managing-peoples-access-to-your-organization-with-roles/using-organization-roles)."

## Creating a custom security role

You can create custom security roles for your organization with reduced or increased access, as needed. For example, you might create a security role limited to managing secret scanning results and bypass requests, or you might create a combined security and audit log role. For more information, see "[AUTOTITLE](/organizations/managing-peoples-access-to-your-organization-with-roles/managing-custom-organization-roles)."
