Roles allow administrators to apply a specified set of permissions to individual users and groups, allowing administrators to specify exactly what each user can see and do. Each user or group can have multiple roles.
The Roles page can be found in the administration menu under Security. The roles page lists all the roles in Continua and allows you to create, edit and delete them.
