Privilege dependency information:

The View roles and users permission is mandatory if the privilege includes the Manage roles and users permission and cannot be removed. The checkboxes for these permissions are pre-filled and fixed. If Manage roles and users is deselected, the View roles and users permission becomes optional and can also be deselected.
Click APPLY CHANGES to save the changes made to the role.

Once system privileges are configured, proceed to setting role privileges.

For more information on available permissions, see RBAC permissions.
