# How to Define Personas in OpenMetadata

# How to Define Personas

## What is a Persona?

In OpenMetadata, a **persona** represents an organization's specific role or function, such as a **data engineer**, **data steward**, or **data scientist**. Personas define how the user interacts with the platform by tailoring the interface and functionality to their role.

**Example**:

* A **data engineer** might focus on pipelines and data quality.
* A **data steward** is more concerned with governance and glossary management.

## Steps to Define a Persona:

1. As an administrator, navigate to **Settings > Personas** in OpenMetadata.
