    The New Role page appears.

  3. Specify a name for the role. For details, see Fields: New/Edit Role.
  4. (Optional) Specify a text description for the role. For details, see Fields: New/Edit Role.
  5. Specify the permissions you want the role to include. For more information, see Permissions.
  6. When you are finished with the New Role form, choose Save to save your changes.
