# 5.9.1 Add/Create New Role in a Project

This feature allows Project Admin/Moderator to create new roles with customized permissions for team members working on a specific project. This feature is useful when there is a need for a new role not currently available in the system or when the default roles do not meet the project’s specific requirements.
