  2. Go to Administration > Users and access > Access Roles.

    !

  3. Click Create.

  4. On the Create role page, enter the Role name and Role description.
  5. Select the following from the drop-downs for metrics access:

    • Label
    • Operator
    • Value of the label

    If you want to add more than one label for a role, click + and select the values from the drop-down.
