Fill in the role name as it's required, and the role description if you like to do so. Click *CREATE & EDIT* to edit this role and set it up.

Now you will see three tabs, [General](/system/user-roles/general.md), [Privileges](/system/user-roles/privileges.md), and [Attribute privileges](/system/user-roles/attribute-privileges.md) (available in higher license packages).
