create-webroles

To create web roles for a Power Pages code site, define them as YAML files within the .powerpages-site/web-roles directory. You must generate valid UUIDs for role identity and enforce uniqueness for anonymous and authenticated user flags before deploying.

Web roles in Power Pages deployment pipelines manage site access and permissions. They define authorization governance for pages and content across Administrators, Authenticated Users, Anonymous Users, and custom roles during site administration workflows.

Yes, you need valid UUIDs for identity when defining Power Pages web roles. The provided script generates these required UUIDs to ensure each role has a unique identifier within the YAML configuration files.

Power Pages web role configuration requires unique anonymoususersrole and authenticatedusersrole flags to prevent authorization conflicts. Enforcing this uniqueness ensures only one role governs anonymous access and one governs authenticated access across the site.

Yes, you can manage custom user roles alongside default Administrators, Authenticated Users, and Anonymous Users in Power Pages. Custom roles are stored as YAML files and integrated into deployment workflows to apply permissions to the live site.

The best way to apply new web roles to a live Power Pages site is through deployment workflows. After defining roles and generating UUIDs in YAML files, deploying the configuration updates the live site with the new access permissions.
