You can change the order in which roles and their members are listed in the User management window by clicking a column header to sort the list by that column. By default, the role information is sorted by the Role name column, and members are sorted by the Name column. An icon appears in the column header indicating whether the column is sorted in ascending order (▲) or descending order (▼).
From the menu, select New.

The New role window appears. This window is shown below.
