Is this something I need to do to get new roles recognised in order to use them in the project properties? I created a new dummy role to test with ‘PROJ’ which I can see in the list of roles using alt+space, but when I select it, it shows a cross and it doesn’t apply it… ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/4/8/48a0d172334e287240f150efc11f8c30d91dcc26.png) I’ve tried restarting the gateway fwiw and also using a classic user source as well as an IdP, both have the same issue… however other pre-existing roles DO work?? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/d/c/dc7ac06af7bc38a7fe1039dde2076e8141f13173.png) ---

I restarted the Designer itself and that seems to have fixed it. Maybe it doesn’t let you assign a role to which you’re not a part of? (I was a part of it, but to the Designer I wasn’t as I logged in before I’d created the role)
