# Asset Level Permissions

Assets represent the resources assigned to your Projects. You can:

* Assign permissions to assets - Control who can access and modify assets within projects.
* Manage assets - View and edit access to assets within projects.
* Remove permissions - Revoke access to certain assets when needed to maintain security and control.

**Note:**

* Custom Roles cannot be assigned to asset level permissions.
* Currently, we can assign asset level permissions to one type of assets: Fabric Port
