I'm noticing an issue in the role management module. When attempting to create a user with a decreased role-set, say: only having login permission and list permission on the assets. The user is unable to see the "List" sub-menu under the
"Metadata" menu. Although the "Metadata" menu displays with nothing underneath it.
The link is an album with pictures of both the issue and the permissions for that user.
Please assist.
As descried in the documentation, it is required to have the WS-API permission selected.
Must have missed that in the Roles docs.

I have installed Airflow in my Ubuntu system and trying to deploy Airflow to production. I would like to turn off the menu Docs on the UI (browser).
I was reading setting permissions on the menus here access-control but it is hard to turn off this menu for each role. I am curious to know if we can Disable/Hide/Remove Docs menu from the root.
There's no one-click way to turn it off globally. I wonder why it's hard to turn it off for each role? The only way to truly perform this in one action is to query the metastore directly and remove the menu access on Docs permission from all roles using a single SQL query.
Assuming you don't have too many roles, it takes just a few clicks in the UI. First you'll need Admin permissions and go to Security -> List Roles. In there, edit each role and remove the menu access on Docs permission.
How is it that on my "Projects" page on Redmine, even once connected, there's no "New Project" link anywhere to be found?
Contrary to the demo version.

Thank you very much in advance!
Redmine has fine-grained, role-based permission system. Permissions are managed on global and per-project level, even per-field and per-status, based on workflow...
You don't see new project button, because you are not administrator, nor you have any role on some project which can grant you that permission.
You should contact your administrator or project manager to elevate your role.
We need to add a custom role which should have edit permissions on the page but should be able to add components\create new content. The user shouldn't be able to publish content or add new pages. He can edit page and add\create relevant components\content on the page. Currently, we've added below roles to the custom role and denied 'create' permission to the role on the entire content tree except for relevant page templates and placeholder settings.

But while adding content in experience editor user is getting 'you don't have access to add content' error. What should be the exact set of permissions to be able to add content to pages but not create pages.
By default items are denied access and you need grant the specific access on the items in question. To be able to edit an item a user will need the Write permission.

Assigning Access Rights
I have role named "GCP US Alias and Redirect" and I have given full access permission for "/sitecore/system/Aliases" and its descendants as in screen shot below.
Now I have assigned "GCP US Alias and Redirect" role to a user, When I login to sitecore as "GCP US Alias and Redirect" user I don't see "/sitecore/system" folder. I can just see "/sitecore/content" folder as in below screen shot.
I can see System folder when searched it by GUID as shown in below screen shot.
What do I do to make it visible at initial place when I open content editor?
Switch to the View tab and select Hidden items and Entire tree checkboxes. They are unchecked by default for non-admin users.
If you don't see the View tab, make sure that either your role has Read access to it (/sitecore/content/Applications/Content Editor/Ribbons/Ribbons/Default/View and /sitecore/content/Applications/Content Editor/Ribbons/Chunks/View in core database) or that your role inherits from e.g. sitecore\Sitecore Client Designing role (check if that role doesn't have too much access rights for your custom role first).
User has only Page Editor access. I tried adding different roles to the user but it still does not work. The only way to give user access to Content Editor is set him up as admin and i do not really want to give admin rights to the user.
You probably need to assign the standard role Sitecore\Author to your acount. See the Sitecore security reference for more details.
Add the below roles manually for the user whom you want to be a content author.
Sitecore\Developer
Sitecore\Sitecore Client Publishing
Sitecore\Designer
Sitecore\Author
Sitecore\Sitecore Client Users
