Create and Manage Roles

The following instructions explain how to create and edit custom roles in Grants.gov. This includes viewing role privileges, deleting a custom role, or editing and renaming an existing custom role. You may also view, activate, or inactivate core roles. Click the Activate or Inactivate links in the Availability column to toggle the availability of the core roles.

 

Inactivating a role from this page limits the roles that users can assign from the Manage Applicants page. It does not keep the system from assigning the Expanded AOR role to a user recognized as the EBiz POC for your organization.

To create and edit an organization's roles, a user must have the Expanded AOR role or a custom role with the Manage Organization privilege.

Before creating or assigning custom roles for the first time, read the Manage Organization Roles help article.
