About User Roles

User Roles can only be managed by Users who have "Manage organisation settings" enabled.

To manage User Roles go to Settings and select User Roles from the Jump to section... dropdown:

The User Roles section lists the existing Roles and tells you the number of Users who have the Role assigned to them.
