# Creating and using Roles
For a demo example of following steps, here is the policy timestamp: **1675164531.823309003**
### **User roles usage in Policies**
#### **An example of creating and using Roles in Policy**
1. Switch to the Roles tab
2. Create 2 new roles called ‘**Example role 1***’ and* ‘***Example role 2***’
3. In the root container create 4 more ’**interfaceContainerBlock***’* container called ‘**no\_role***’*, ‘**owner***’*, ‘**role\_1***’ and ‘***role\_2***’*
{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** By default all containers would have ‘*Any Role’* set and thus they would be visible to all users (with all roles)
{% endhint %}
4. Change the ‘Permissions’ properties in each container in the following way:
* no\_role: No Role
* owner: Owner
* role\_1: Example role 1
* role\_2: Example role 2
This would result in the following visibility of containers:
* The first container (called ’no role’) would be visible only to new users which have no role assigned to them
* The ‘owner’ container would be visible only to the Standard Registry which created (or imported) this policy
* The ‘role 1’ container would be visible only to users with ‘*Example role 1’*
* The ‘role 2’ container would be visible only to users with ‘*Example role 2’*
5. Add a ‘**policyRolesBlock***’* to the ‘*no\_role’* container and name it ‘*choose\_role’*
Since this block is located inside the container ‘*no\_role*’ which has ‘*No role*’ permission setting it would only be visible to new users without an assigned role.
6. The ‘**Available Roles***’* property allows to configure which roles would be available to users to chose from at this stage of the Policy workflow
Select ‘**Example role 1***’ and* ‘**Example role 2***’*
7. Add ‘**informationBlock**’ to other containers just to display results
#### **Results**:
1. New users would end up on the policy choice form upon entering the policy
2. After the selection of the role users would see only 1 container corresponding to their roles
3. The owner of the Policy (the Standard Registry user) upon executing the policy would skip the role selection form and would immediately end-up in the corresponding container
