How to Create a Role in gPanel

Create new roles in gPanel to define permission tiers and structure your Google Workspace admin hierarchy.

  1. To get started, navigate to Administration > Role Manager, then click the + icon in the top right.

The image shows a user interface for 'Role Manager'. There is a search bar with a magnifying glass icon, a 'FILTERS' button, and an 'ADD ROLE' button circled in red.

  1. The create role window will appear. Enter the name of the role, select a role type, and enter the role description. 

In the roll type drop down menu you will see two types of roles: Admin and User.

  • Admin: Will have none of the permissions selected, but includes options for all permissions.
  • User: Will have none of the permissions selected, and only includes user view permissions.

Click Save once you are finished.

The image displays a user interface for creating a new role. It includes fields for entering a role name, selecting a role type, and adding a description. There is an 'ADD' button to submit the information.

Now that the role is created, you can edit it to select permissions, add users, exclude users, and more. Click here for instructions on how to edit a role.
