Permissions control what content a user is able to access on the FAST site. A role is a set of permissions that when assigned to a user, allows that user to perform specific functions in the FAST site.

    In this module, admins are able to create and manage roles and the permissions assigned to those roles. 

    This section covers the following processes:

    3. Click the Add New button.


       

    4. Add the role name then click the Submit button.
