In the Role data entry form, the User is prompted to define the 'Role' (by name) and the 'Description' used to identify the new Role. Additionally, each Role can be flagged as 'CustomerCenter Only' or 'Administrator'. These flags control certain built-in authority/restriction levels in the application (Note: See below for a listing of specific Administrator privileges). A User is considered to be an Administrator if ANY of their assigned Roles is flagged as Admin. Conversely, a User is relegated to have CustomerCenter Only access if ALL of their assigned Roles are flagged as such.

Admin Users can also add User profiles to the new role which binds each selected User to the Permissions Sets defined in the next tab. To add Users to the new role, select the 'Add' button in the 'Users' tab. Select appropriate Users from the list and press the Save button. The Users appear on the Grid displayed in the 'Users' tab.

Users can define the permissions granted by the new role's Users by opening the 'Permissions Sets' tab. Click the 'Add' button immediately above the Grid displayed in that tab and select the desired permissions sets from the list.
