In the example above, the Administrator role has no restrictions and can create other user accounts and user roles. This profile is the only one with user and profile creation rights.
The View Only role has very few rights. It can't access or modify any content or programming.
Select the role that best matches the user's responsibilities and note you can change role assignments. When you assign a new role to a user who is currently logged in, they will acquire their new rights the next time they log in.
