+Custom SQL dimensions let you pull in new data directly from your database, which means they can sometimes be used to bypass access restrictions. **Only users with admin or developer permissions can create custom SQL dimensions** — or, on Enterprise plans, any user assigned a [custom role](/references/workspace/custom-roles) that includes the **Manage Custom Fields** scope (*Create and edit custom dimensions*). Other users will not see authoring options for custom SQL dimensions, but can still use existing ones in their queries.

 ## Scope reference
 
-### Manage SQL Runner vs Manage Custom SQL
+### SQL-related scopes
 
-These two scopes are independent and control different features.
+Three scopes control different SQL-authoring features. They are independent — granting one does not grant the others.
 
-**Manage SQL Runner** controls access to the [SQL Runner](/guides/developer/sql-runner), which lets users write and run ad-hoc SQL queries directly against your data warehouse. It also controls the ability to create [virtual views](/guides/developer/virtual-views) and [write back dbt models](/guides/developer/dbt-write-back) from SQL Runner queries.

-**Manage Custom SQL** controls the ability to create [custom SQL dimensions](/guides/custom-fields) inside the Explore view. Custom SQL dimensions let users add calculated fields to an existing table using raw SQL. This scope does **not** grant access to the SQL Runner.
+**Manage Custom Sql** (description: *Save SQL charts*) controls the ability to save the output of a SQL Runner query as a saved chart. Users with this scope can save SQL charts; without it, they can still run queries in SQL Runner but cannot persist the output. This scope does **not** grant access to custom SQL dimensions in Explore.
+
+**Manage Custom Fields** (description: *Create and edit custom dimensions*) controls the ability to create and edit [custom SQL dimensions](/guides/custom-fields#custom-sql) inside the Explore view. Custom SQL dimensions let users add calculated fields to an existing table using raw SQL. This scope does **not** grant access to the SQL Runner.
 
 <Tip>
-  If you want a user to query tables that include custom SQL dimensions created by others, they don't need either of these scopes. Any user with access to the Explore view can **use** existing custom SQL dimensions in their queries - these scopes only control who can **create** them.
