  3. In the OLAP Data Roles widget, click the Create icon.
  4. Specify the name of the role and, optionally, a description.
  5. Click OK.
  6. Click the Edit icon in the OLAP Permissions widget.
  7. Select the check boxes of the permissions to assign to the role.

  9. Optionally, click the Synchronize roles to OLAP icon.
