There are two kinds of roles:
- predefined - already in the system, cannot be edited, only copied (distinguished by italicized font, listed at the top)
- customized - freely created, edited, copied (listed under the predefined roles)
Via copying a predefined role:
- Go to the Roles tab of the User Management module.
Roles are listed on the left side of the tab, while privileges are grouped on the right side of the tab according to the types of access they grant. - To copy a role, click on the copy icon appearing when hovering over the name of the role.
NOTE: The copy of both a predefined and an independently created role will be added to the customized roles list by the same name numbered in brackets for distinction.
3. The copy will function as a customized role, thus it can be re-named by clicking the pencil icon 
when hovering over the title of the role.
4. Adding and/or removing privileges can be done by highlighting the role to be modified and using the checkbox system.
If a selected privilege or combination of privileges is an already existing or predefined one, a message will appear informing the user about the identical role.
Via adding a new role:
- To create a new role, type its name in the Add new role bar below the list of roles.
- Click the plus sign next to the name of the new role.
- Check the box(es) of the privilege(s) intended to be assigned to the new user.
NOTE: The plus sign becomes activated as soon as the first character is typed in the bar.
