Custom roles and user permissions are an Enterprise-level feature. This allows for more granular permission settings to create roles for internal and auditing purposes. You are able to more specifically control who can see and access specific content, such as page types for example. If one specific team of users only needs to have access to a case study or blog page type, you can now restrict their access to just that specific content.
This allows your team to define roles and permissions in the team which affects their abilities to perform specific actions in your ButterCMS account.

1. To create a role, click on the 'Manage Roles' tab and then click on the 'Add Role' button
