Creating a new role within Plato is super easy. From the administrator dashboard locate the Roles > Add option within the main navigation.

Typically you would create your own roles to restrict access to content or functionality for certain groups of users within your Plato installation.

Creating Roles

When adding a role you'll need to provide a name for your new role and define the permissions available to that role. The permissions you see when creating a role will be determined by the features you have enabled within your Plato installation.

If you would like to use roles to control access to content within your Plato installation please see access control.
