Add system roles

There is a set of built-in roles in Jira Align, but you can also create custom roles depending on your company's policies.

To add a role:

1. Select the Settings gear in the top navigation bar.
2. On the left side of the page, select Roles in the Access Controls section.
3. Under Add New Role, in the Role Name box, type a name for your new role.
4. Select Add Role. The role is added under the Jira Align Roles section, with an empty list of permissions.
5. Find the added role, and then turn on the levels you want the role to have permission to.
6. Click the plus sign of the level you chose, and then turn on the specific areas of that level the role should have access to.
7. Click Save.
