Roles are the bundles of capabilities that allow users to perform certain sets of actions on your site. If the default roles do not fit your needs then you may wish to create a new role. It is recommended that you create a new role and edit that, rather than editing one of the default roles.
Create a role
To add a new role, follow these steps:
- Go to Quick-access menu > Permissions > Define roles.
- Click Add a new role (at the bottom of the page).
- Configure the settings and set the required permissions.
- Click Add a new role to save your new role.
Test the new role
After creating a new role you should test it to ensure that the role functions as expected, and users with this role will only be able to perform the required actions.
To test a role, follow these steps:
- Create a test user and assign the new role to them.
- Either log out as the Site Administrator and then log in as the test user, or use a different browser to log in as the test user. Role changes only take effect when the user next logs in.
