Role Permissions: How to create a new role for user permissions.
There may be instances where you need to create a new role in addition to what is available by default. Perhaps you would like to create a role for an 'intern' or 'part-time associate'? The new role can be anything you like or need.
1. Select 'Settings' from the left-hand navigation panel.
