Create a user role

User roles are available on webs hosted by web servers running SharePoint Team Services from Microsoft and FrontPage Server Extensions 2002 only.

  1. On Tools menu, point to Server, and then click Administration Home.
  2. On the Site Administration page, under Users and Roles, click Manage roles.
  3. Click Add a role.
  4. Type a name and a description for the role in the fields provided.
  5. Select the check boxes next to the access rights that you would like allow for the users who will be assigned this role.
  6. Click Create role.

Note   If you don't see the Manage roles option, you are probably in a subweb that uses the user account and roles settings of a higher-level web site of the server or virtual server. To work with accounts and roles, either go to the top-level web site, or set up unique permissions for this subweb. See your network administrator or ISP for more information.
