Thanks for your quick reply Ramesh.

Now I am wondering how I can create a custom role in Alfresco. When I searched in the forums, I found out that we need to edit permissionDefinitions.xml in /tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/model/permissionDefinitions.xml.

Thanks,
Hari.

I am not having alfresco installation handy at the moment on my local machine. However, it should be present in alfresco-repository-*.jar i think.

Hope this helps.
