To add a permission to a content type, simply go to the content type list view. Now scroll down until you find the content type you are wanting to add permissions to. Once you have found your content type, click on the permissions button on the right hand side of the page.

Once the permissions page has loaded, you can add a new item by clicking the Add Role button on the top right hand side of the page.

Now you can scroll down to the bottom of the page to add your permissions. First, select the role that you are wanting to give permission to. Once selected you can toggle the permissions bar to set the required permissions. If you would like to find out what each permission does you can find a table here: Permissions

Once you are happy with the permissions set, scroll back to the top of the page and click the save permissions button at the top of the page. Now any users within the role selected will have the permissions you have set for the content type selected.
