Role Details

Opening a role from the Roles screen shows its name, description and every permission it grants, grouped by area.

Editing a role

If you can manage roles, choose Edit to change the name, the description, or which permissions are allowed, then save. The permissions you save replace the role’s previous set, and permissions that others depend on are included automatically, as when creating a role.

Changes apply to everyone who holds the role the next time they do anything, so check who holds a role before removing permissions from it.

To remove the description, empty the field and save.

Who can do this

Anyone who can view roles can open this page. Editing needs the permission to manage roles, which lets you give the role any permission. The name cannot be left empty.
