-Please use [[tutorial:adm:how_to_create_virtual_system|this]] tutorial to do so! +Here is an example of CSV file which can be used for importing (or updating) roles, setting their role attributes, guarantees (by user, or by role) and criticality, for saving them in a created catalogue and for assigning their subordinate role. To use this CSV file, create a new identity with user name <nowiki>"user_login"</nowiki>, and a new role with code <nowiki>"role_code"</nowiki>.

As shown in the picture, go to Settings → Task scheduler → Scheduled tasks and hit green "Add" button to add new LRT. Now we will create the new LongRunningTask (LRT).

 +- Can be requested - (Boolean) - Roles can be requested, can be also used to update already imported settings; it allows not selecting value when updating (not when creating!) roles which will not change the Can be requested property of roles. When creating roles, either Yes or No must be selected.
  
-<note important>If you are updating the roles, make sure to set the same form definition the role already have. Also, each role can only have one definition, so if you by mistake set a different definition in the LRT configuration, you will without any doubt get an error. Generally, DO NOT use this LRT to change the definition of a role. You can only change the definition if the role has no attributes set yet.</note>+<note important>If you are updating the roles, make sure to set the same form definition the role already have (if they have any).
