Group '''Roles''' give group owners a fine degree of control over their members' access to group '''Abilities'''. Using group '''Roles''', a group owner may assign different levels of privileges to groups of members. Additionally, each group role can be assigned its own title for members to wear. Each group can contain up to 10 roles, including Owners and Everyone.
 
By default, all groups start with three '''Roles''':
 
* '''Owners:''' Group owners have full control over their group, and have access to all group '''Abilities'''. The Owners role can't be deleted, edited, or hidden because it's ''always'' required.
* '''Officers:''' Officers have broad, but not unlimited powers within the group. The Officers role can be deleted or edited by group members with the appropriate abilities.
* '''Everyone:''' Everyone in the group, regardless of other assigned '''Roles''', falls into the Everyone role. This special role defines baseline abilities for everyone in the group.

To create a new group role:
 
# Go to '''Edit > Groups'''
# Highlight the group you want to edit, and press the '''Info''' button.
# Go to the '''Members & Roles''' tab on the Group Information window.
# Click the '''Roles''' tab under the '''Members & Roles''' tab.
# Press the '''Create New Role''' button.
# Enter a '''Name''' for the new role.
# Enter a '''Title''' (tag) for your new role. When a group role is active, the title appears inworld above your avatar name.
# Assign abilities to the new role under the '''Allowed Abilities''' frame.
 
{{KBnote| Group members with the ability to create new roles can only assign abilities they have within their own active role.}}
 
{{KBhint| Groups are a limited commodity; if you find yourself close to your limit, you may consider using group roles to create "groups-within-groups" to save space!}}
 
==Abilities==
 
Abilities define a role's level of control over group matters- land, Linden dollars, membership, titles, and more.  For a complete listing of group abilities and their descriptions inworld: Go to '''Edit > Groups'''
 
# Highlight the group you want to edit, and press the '''Info''' button.
# Go to the '''Members & Roles''' tab on the Group Information window.
# Click the '''Abilities''' tab under the '''Members & Roles''' tab.

{{KBnote| When '''Create Objects''' is set only to '''Group''' in the '''About Land''' '''Options''' tab, it is necessary to wear the group title from the same group the land is set or deeded to in order to rez objects.}}
