Thanks much for your reply. Can you please let me know if it is configurable from the Alfresco JFS GUI. I have been reading the the link you have given. Looks to be a bit complicated. Is there any other article that you can share.

Creating custom roles is not the easiest thing to grasp in the beginning. I'm not 100% clear on what exactly your needs are but in my opinion the default roles that alfresco gives you usually can be utilized to meet your needs. Have you had a chance to examine those? If you are hesitant to write custom roles have a look at http://webunit.cs.athabascau.ca/projects/cms_selection/alfresco/DefaultUserRolesInAlfresco and see if you can make the default ones work for you.

Also there is no method of modifying roles in explorer (JSF client)
