As they provide an overview of predefined roles and give an
idea of what kind of permissions are available, they fit
better right after the new general permission introduction.

+Roles
+~~~~~
+
+A role is simply a list of privileges. Proxmox VE comes with a number
+of predefined roles which satisfies most needs.
+
+* `Administrator`: has all privileges
+* `NoAccess`: has no privileges (used to forbid access)
+* `PVEAdmin`: can do most things, but miss rights to modify system settings (`Sys.PowerMgmt`, `Sys.Modify`, `Realm.Allocate`).
+* `PVEAuditor`: read only access
+* `PVEDatastoreAdmin`: create and allocate backup space and templates
+* `PVEDatastoreUser`: allocate backup space and view storage
+* `PVEPoolAdmin`: allocate pools
+* `PVESysAdmin`: User ACLs, audit, system console and system logs
+* `PVETemplateUser`: view and clone templates
+* `PVEUserAdmin`: user administration
+* `PVEVMAdmin`: fully administer VMs
+* `PVEVMUser`: view, backup, config CDROM, VM console, VM power management
+
+You can see the whole set of predefined roles on the GUI.
+
+Adding new roles can currently only be done from the command line, like
+this:
+
+[source,bash]
+----
+pveum roleadd PVE_Power-only -privs "VM.PowerMgmt VM.Console"
+pveum roleadd Sys_Power-only -privs "Sys.PowerMgmt Sys.Console"
