9. Maintain Roles

The Maintain Roles section enables system administrators to create common groups of user privileges. Then, when new users are added, the users can be assigned to the user role they should belong to. Having user roles simplifies the process of adding new users into the system. The following screen will appear when you select the "Maintain Roles" option:
