Comments.Text: CiviCRM gets its permissions from your CMS (that is, Drupal, WordPress, Joomla or Backdrop), so without specifying your CMS it's hard to give more details.  Please specify your CMS and someone can answer your question!  Also, are you looking to add a new user?  Or grant an existing user administrative permissions?
