+Working with Project Roles
+--------------------------
+CloudStack allows adding project members with a desired project role. A
+project role will be assigned to the member in addition to their base
+account role. Project Roles are retrictive in nature and can be used to
+further restrict certain API access to the members within the project.
+It is important to note that a project role cannot be used to elevate an
+existing user's permissions. Project roles can be created or managed
+using `Project roles` tab in the project details UI.
