Editing a Role

You can create and edit roles that can be assigned to users. A role is a collection of permissions.

Procedure

  2. Type a Name for the new role and select the permissions in the list that you want to assign to the role. Some of the permissions (for example, Library and Project) have sub-permissions that are all automatically selected when their parent permission is selected. Select or deselect the sub-permissions as required.A selected sub-permission means that the user will have that permission. See the description of the Set Release Level permission, above, for an example.
