By default, the Developer comes with one empty master role list for each language installed. Each master role list can be used to assign roles to all documents of the same language. Therefore, you need to create a new role list only if your content includes a language for which no role list currently exists.
Note: Only one role list can be used to assign roles to documents of a given language. If multiple role lists exist for the same language, only the oldest (the first one created) is used to populate the role assignment selection list. For example, if you make a copy of the Roles.en document and add roles to it, those new roles do not appear as assignment choices for any English documents. Therefore, you should not create more than one role list for any language.
Warning! Do not delete the role list for any language. Doing so disables role assignments for that language.
To create a new role list, you must start with an existing role list. For example, you can set up all necessary roles in an existing role list and then create new role lists for other languages using this initial list as a model.
Tip: You can change the language of a role list from the Properties toolpane.
You can create a new role list from the Library or the Role Editor. From the Library, you make a copy of the roles document. From the Role Editor, you save the original role list as a new document.
The original master role lists in the Library are named according to language. For example, the Roles.en document is the master role list for the English language. Although you do not have to follow this convention in naming new role lists, it is recommended that you provide a meaningful name so you can easily find the new role list later.
All role list documents must be saved in the System/Roles folder to be used for role assignment.
