# Step: Create the Application Role Assignment

##

Required permission:

* [applicationRoles:create:applicationRoleAssignment](../../../../../platform/reference/roles-and-permissions-in-pingone/pingone-permissions-by-identifier.html#permission-applicationRoles-create-applicationRoleAssignment "Learn more about this permission")

```none
POST {{apiPath}}/v1/environments/{{envID}}/applications/{{appID}}/roleAssignments
```

When you assign a role to an application, you need to identify the role to assign, and designate the scope for role.

Use the `POST {{apiPath}}/v1/environments/{{envID}}/applications/{{appID}}/roleAssignments` operation to create the role assignment for the application in the specified environment.

The request URL identifies the environment ID and application ID. The request body specifies the `role` ID and the `scope` to use for the role assignment.

For this activity, the scope `type` is `ENVIRONMENT` and the specific environment to which the role assignment scope applies is specified in the `id` value.

### Headers

Authorization      Bearer {{accessToken}}

Content-Type      application/json

### Body

raw ( application/json )

```json
{
    "role": {
        "id": "{{roleID}}"
    },
    "scope": {
        "id": "{{envID}}",
        "type": "ENVIRONMENT"
    }
}
```
