2. The System Administration window appears.

3. Expand the Security Roles group in the Explorer pane, scrolling up if necessary.

4. Select the type of role you want to view from the list in the Explorer pane. A browse table displays all of the existing roles of this type. Now you can create, update or rename a security role of this type.

The pre-defined role All typically has all role options selected. However, some of the options are not selected by default and you should explore the permissions set before assigning the role.
