How to create role?

The role management feature in the MC provides a user with the option of creating and managing custom roles for a brand. These roles have granular permissions for different MC features. Depending on the types of MC users the brand has, it can create roles with the appropriate permissions.

• Navigate to the brand’s All Stores navigation level

• Select the Configurations sub-navigation

• Select Roles

You will be presented with a list of all the roles that are accessible for the brand. There are 3 default roles for each brand: Brand Manager, Area Manager, and Store Manager. These roles have a default set of permissions that can be found here.  

• Select Create role

• Add a role name

• Add a role description
• Select the roles available for

These are the roles that will have access to this newly created role. For example, when creating Custom Role A,  if you choose Brand Manager, then all users who are Brand Managers will be able to change their role and other users’ roles to Custom Role A.

• Select an existing role that this new role should be based on 

This will give you immediate access to all the permissions already set for that role and hopefully speed up the role creation process for you.

• Enable or disable permission groups

A permission group is a set of related permissions. When a permission group is enabled, this enables a section of the subnavigation to be visible. When it is disabled, the subnavigation is invisible.

• Set the permission level for each permission

A permission group contains permissions. Each permission has a permission level. Permission levels vary by permission, but in general have 3 values.

No access: A user is not able to see or access content related to the permission

View: A user is able to see but not create, edit, or delete content related to the permission

Manage: A user is able to view, create, edit, and delete content related to the permission

Manage level permission trumps view level permission which trumps no access level permission.

A user will only be able to set the permission level for permissions to the highest level of access they themselves have. For example, if you have View access to Users, you will be able to create a role that has No Access or View access to Users, not Manage level access.
