1. Create the Custom Role

Go to User Administration > Roles.
Click New, and create a role (e.g., custom_update_set_role).
Add a description, and click Submit.

2. Set Up Access Control (ACLs)

Go to System Security > Access Control (ACL).
Create a new ACL for the Update Set table (sys_update_set):
- Type: Record
- Operation: Set to Create, Read, Write, Delete based on need.
- Table: sys_update_set
- Roles: Add your custom role.
Repeat for Update Set Entries (sys_update_xml) if necessary.

3. Assign the Role to Users

Go to User Administration > Users.
Open a user record and assign the custom role under the Roles tab.

4. Test the Role

By setting these ACLs and assigning the role, users will be able to manage update sets without full admin access. Let me know if you need further clarification!

Hi @AshishSamuD,

You can create custom role from User Administration > Roles.

You will need to elevate to security_admin role and create read, write and create ACLs for sys_update_set table and set the custom role there.
