Tags are used to control access to ZEN Master Resources as well as other system objects such as Sources, Channels, Targets, Automation Task Sets, Reports etc. Each object instance is assigned a Tag. User Roles allow access to objects based on the related Tags. Only users who are assigned Roles that allow access to a particular Tag can access objects associated with that Tag. To learn more about User Management in ZEN Master, see [Account Management](docId\:t49XhHyZCGfR2Rz2GtnRm).
Tags are created on the **Configuration** > **Tags** screen[\[1\]](docId\:vPSZIytS_uzxdb-zvrAcX) . They are then assigned to Roles on the **Account Management** > **Roles **screen, see [Managing Roles](docId\:yEXZ8AiX--tjAjZsol3Ns).
The Tags screen shows a list of all Tags that have been created in the system.
The following table describes the information shown on this screen and the actions which can be taken.
| **Parameter** | **Description** |
| ------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Name | The name of the Tag |
| ***Actions*** |
|
| Edit | Enables you to edit the name of the Tag. |
| Delete | Deletes the Tag.
Note: You can only delete an Tag that is not currently assigned to any Roles or system objects. |
### Notes
1. Alternatively, it is possible to create new Tags within the flow of creating a Role.
