To create a new role for the administrator profile
- Log in to Entrust Certificate Authority administration portal.
- In the tree view, expand Security Policy > Roles.
- Select Policies > Roles > New to create a new role. Alternatively, you can copy the Administrator role because this role includes most of the permissions required for the new role. - Select Administrator.
- Select Policies > Roles > Selected Role > Copy . A copy of the role appears at the bottom of the list of roles in the tree view, and the new role’s properties appear in the right pane.
 
- Click the Role tab. - Into the Unique name field, enter - CAGW Admin Role.
- In the Authorizations field, enter 1. 
- In the User Policy drop-down list, select CAGW Admin Policy. This is the client policy you created earlier. 
- Unselect the End User check box. This check box should already be deselected. 
 
- Click the Permissions tab.
- Configure the permissions documented in the above table and click Apply. 
- If prompted, authorize the operation. As explained in the Entrust Certificate Authority documentation, the operation may require more than one authorization. 
- A Permission Dependencies pop-up dialog may list additional permissions required for the role to function properly. Add these missing permissions to the role.
