# Contacts - Create and Edit
In order for a member to create contacts, the member's security role must include the **Administer all companies and opportunities** permission in [Security Roles](/workspace-administration/security-roles). To create a contact, access the Contacts list by clicking on **Pipeline** in the nav bar and then selecting the **Contacts** sub-menu option (Figure 1).

At the top of the list screen, there is **+** button (Figure 2). Click on this button to create a contact. This will prompt you (Figure 3) to enter the basic contact data.
