How to use roles and groups?

The documentation doesn’t really explain how roles and groups can be used, specifically in regards to controlling what users can do in the admin interface.

For example, if I want someone to be able to look at failed URLs and then search for anchors referencing those URLs, what steps do I need to take, rather than just giving them full admin rights?

Thanks.

For admin UI, only “admin” role is to manage administrative operations.
Use case for role/group is to filter search results with proper permissions.
For example, if connecting to Active Directory, users can search only proper contents.

Oh … so there isn’t any way to restrict what can be done on the admin page?

Thanks for the clarification.
