Hello,

i was trying to follow the tutorial under https://strapi.io/documentation/v3.x/guides/auth-request.html#introduction

I’ve added the new roles under /admin/settings/users-permissions/roles. Now, when i try to add a new user via /admin/settings/users the newly added role “Reader” isn’t available to select for the new user.

Am i missing something?

Here you see strapi administrators that have access to /admin panel. These are two different things. It has its own permission control called RBAC.

You’ve added a role for user-permissions plugin, so you can find the API users here:
http://localhost:1337/admin/plugins/content-manager/collectionType/plugins::users-permissions.user

You can notice API users in menu under COLLECTION TYPES:
