I recently added a new user role: engineering under the default identity provider. I added a security level with the same corresponding name.

However, I edited project permissions to add the “engineering” role to have view/save/delete permission–but the role still can’t login to the designer.

Additionally, it can’t use that role to log-in to the gateway either.

What connection am I missing?

Did you update the following items:

Go to:  
Config \> System \> Gateway Settings (8.0.x)  
Config \> Security \> General (8.1.x)

- Designer Role(s) \*
- Gateway Config Permissions
- Status Page Permissions

Examples:

- Designer Role(s) \* - `Administrator, engineering`
- Gateway Config Permissions - `Authenticated/Roles/Administrator,Authenticated/Roles/engineering`
- Status Page Permissions - `Authenticated/Roles/Administrator,Authenticated/Roles/engineering`

This is in the gateway?  
I do not see a ‘Security \> General’
