Create a user role

Puppet Enterprise (PE) includes five default roles. You can also create your own roles.

For information about the five default roles, refer to User permissions and user roles.

Users with the appropriate permissions, such as Administrators, can create custom roles. To avoid unintentional privilege escalation, make sure the only users who can edit user roles are those who have all permissions (meaning Administrators). For more information, refer to Best practices for assigning permissions.

1. In the console, on the Access control page, click the User roles tab.
2. In the Name field, enter a name for the new user role.
3. In the Description field, enter a description of the new user role.
4. Click Add role.
