A roles entry can be created using the web interface if the current user logged in has a defined role that contains the user::create permission. Go to menu: Manage -> Roles -> Create Roles. Also can be created from the Roles View, using the "Create+" button.

To add a new user to Open-AudIT you have to provide the details of that person, assign the organization, select the relevant Roles (multiple roles can be selected), select if the user is active or not, etc. In addition, you must grant permission to that user to access one or more organizations. It is important to notice that selecting a parent organization will automatically provide access to its children.

...

You will see a list of roles. You can view a role by clicking on the blue view icon. You can also edit or delete roles (except standard roles).
