Create New User Roles

How to create new user roles with custom permissions and best practices for setting up roles.

Last updated on 10 Apr, 2026

User roles control what each person can see and do while editing or viewing your site. When the provided roles don't quite fit your needs, you can create a custom role by copying an existing one and adjusting its permissions — giving exactly the right level of access to users.

By creating a new role, you can easily assign the same level of access to multiple users, rather than needing to customize each user's permissions individually.

Only Site Admins can manage user roles. If you don’t have the required permissions, please contact an administrator for assistance.

Let's look at the steps:

Step 1: Navigate to Roles

From the dashboard, go to Roles under Users to see a list of available roles.

Step 4: Save Changes

Save the changes. You can now see the new role in the roles list. If you need to edit it later, you can do so from this same location.
