We can now begin the process of assigning the permissions for the role. Pressing Add a permission will add a new permission to the role and the permissions panel will be displayed.

Select the content type that you want to set permissions for from the dropdown list, in this example the News content type.

A list of events will be displayed following the selection of the content type. Permissions are explicitly set, by default permissions for events are switched off. Toggling the permission turns it on. For the author content type we'll enable the following permissions:

Create	Save	Submit / revoke	Approve / decline	Delete
✅ Yes	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	❌No	❌No

With the permissions now set up for the news authors, we'll press Save and begin to assign users who can carry out the actions assigned to the role.

Example: Create roles for authors and approvers
