Create a role

Overview

As a cloud administrator, you can:

• Create a new role by importing rights from another role. You can import rights only from a single  role. When you import rights from a role, the new role inherits all the rights of the imported role. However, you cannot import rights configured for the Cloud administrators.
• Create a custom role.

Note: You can only create Cloud admin role in the Business edition.
