A custom web role allows you to customize and fine-tune the access that a user has to Peer Management Center resources.  This is useful if you have multiple types or levels of users that need different types of access.  For example, if you have multiple tiers of help desk staff, creating custom roles based on the standard Help Desk role allows you to provide them varying levels of access to Peer Management Center.

A custom role is based on one of the three standard web roles (Administrator, Power User, and Help Desk); the custom role starts with the same set of permissions as the role it is based on.  However, during the process of creating the custom role, you modify the permissions associated with the new role.
