The Role Management page allows you to create a user role and select the permissions you want the role to have. For example, if you have some users who will be responsible for viewing resources and make changes, you can assign them, for example, to the Author role. This role is a custom role therefore, you can edit or delete it, if need be. Once you have created the role, you can assign it to one or more users using the Role Assignments pane on the lower part of the Create a new role page. For more information on assigning a user role, see the Assigning roles.
