# Managing Roles

By default, Varbase offers a set of predefined roles that work for most web content management systems.

{% endcontent-ref %}

## Creating New Roles

{% hint style="info" %}
Note: By default and as a best practice, only the **Super admin role** can add or delete roles. 
{% endhint %}

To create a new role follow these steps:

1. In the **Manage** administrative menu, navigate to **People\\*****Roles.***
2. Click **Add role** to add a custom role.
3. Enter the **Role** name that you want and *save*.
4. Check the new role under the **Roles** tab.

You can now edit the permissions for this new Role.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Pay attention for the following when creating a new role:\
1- Permissions\
2- Assignable roles as it needs some configurations\
3- Naming convention: Use sentence case for first letters and add spacing between the words.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.varbase.vardot.com/9.1.x/content-designers/user-management/default-roles-and-site-persons/managing-roles.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
