## Required Permissions

To add a permission to a custom role, you must also add its required permissions.

For example, to add a non-read permission for a resource type, you must also add the read permission for that resource type.

The following permissions are required for `monitoring:create`:

| Permission | Description |
|---|---|
| [`monitoring:read`](../../monitoring/read) | View Monitoring metrics and alert policies |
| [`droplet:read`](../../droplet/read) | View Droplets |
