Creating a custom role

You can create roles with a custom set of permissions. Default roles cannot be edited. You must create a custom role to enable editing.

To create a role

  2. At the top right of the Roles page, click Create Role. If required, you can define a role based on an existing role. In the Roles list, click on the Action menu for a role and select Duplicate.
  3. On the Create Role page, enter a Role Name and Description.
  4. Under Role Permissions, select the check boxes for the permissions you want to assign to the role. Some role permissions are partitioned into services. If available, you can configure access to a service using the Selected Services field.
  5. At the top right of the page, click Create Role. You are returned to the Roles page and there is a prompt to Assign Users.
  6. To add a user to the role, click Assign Users.
  7. In the Add User to <custom_role> field, enter the email address of the user you want to add.

If the user is not currently a member, they are added to the organization.
