- Click on the Roles tab for your site
- Click on Create Role in the Roles toolbar
- Enter a name for your new role
- Click the 'Create Role' button.
- See next HOW-TO on how-to assign actions/modules to the new role
Common Error: I don't see the link for 'Create a Role' after clicking on the Roles tab
A. You do not have permissions to add new roles to a site. Please talk to your site admin if you feel you need that type of access.
Common Error: I created the role but I wasn't prompted to choose which actions/modules the role was assigned to
A. Creating a role is simply the act of creating a holder which you edit later. Please see the HOW-TO on managing and editing a role below to learn how to edit the actions/modules that are assigned to the role.
