3. Click New to launch the New Role wizard.
4. In the Name page, specify a name and description for the new role, and then click OK.

6. In the Users\Groups page, complete the following steps:
   1. Select Domain or Workgroup as the Authentication type.
      For Domain authentication type, you should specify the domain name of the user or group you want to add to the new role.

      Note: You must register the untrusted domain in the Settings > Global Settings > Domain Settings page.
