If the predefined user roles do not fit your requirements, you can add custom user roles. Ideally, you create the roles that each unique product operator needs to be able to perform his or her job responsibilities.
Custom roles work best within a system of custom groups. Custom groups let you precisely grant access to dashboards and product features while restricting access to sensitive data. The same groups that you create to organize data can serve as “permission groups” when you set up user account permissions.
A new role has no rights until you add them.
