Administrator can add roles to the user for specific sections. To add a role, the administrator has to choose the role and section from the drop down list and click on Add button. There is also All section in the section list on which the administrator can easily assign the user role. This way, the user enjoys the role all through the publication.

Please note that the section list in this interface only contains the user content sections and the group sections. In addition, to appear in this list the user content sections have to specified using section parameters in the root section of the publication. Please have a look at the Viz Community Expansion Developer Guide to see how to configure user content section.
