To add a permission to a role, simply select the content type called roles. Once the list view has opened scroll down to the role you are wanting to add permissions to. Once you have found your role, click on the Permissions button on the right hand side.

Now you can click on the Add Content Type button in the top right corner of the page.

Once selected, scroll down to the bottom of the page. You should see that a blank permissions template has opened.
