How do custom roles affect Explore access in Zendesk Support Enterprise?

In Zendesk Support Enterprise, custom roles determine Explore access. Assigning a default custom role automatically grants a corresponding Explore role. For example, an Administrator role allows creating reports and managing permissions, while a Team Leader can create reports. Staff and Light Agents can view reports, and Advisors have no access. You can also configure Explore settings in your own custom roles to control access for multiple users simultaneously.
