   Click on **Create Role** in the top-left corner of the page.
2. **Enter Role Name:**\
   Provide a name for the new role in the designated field.
3. **Edit Role Permissions:**\
   Click on the **⋮ (ellipse)** icon of the created role and select **Edit**.
4. **Assign Permissions:**\

5. **Save the Configuration:**\

{% hint style="info" %}
When creating a new role, it’s best to group permissions from similar categories, such as a 'viewer role' with viewing rights across all categories, or a 'full administration role' with all user-related permissions. This keeps things clear, manageable, and secure.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.g-iot.io/platform-user-guide-book/administration/role/create-new-role.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
