# Roles

A role is a bundled set of permission groups. By assigning a role to an association, you grant all privileges enabled by the role's component permission groups to all of the users or user lists in the association.

You can create and delete roles in ArcMC.

2. Click New.
3. In Role Name, enter a name for the role.
4. In the Available Permission Group(s) column, select one or more permission groups. Use the Add button to move selected permission groups from the Available Groups column to the Selected Permission Group(s) column.
5. Click Save.

To delete one or more roles:

Before deleting a role, edit any associations of which it is a part to remove the role from each association.
