About User Roles
User Roles are a set of permissions assigned to users that allow them to carry out tasks. If the permissions for a User Role are updated, the permissions for all Users assigned that Role will change.
User Roles can only be managed by Users who have "Manage organisation settings" enabled.
To manage User Roles go to Settings.
The User Roles section lists the existing Roles and tells you the number of Users who have the Role assigned to them.
