Re: I need to create new roles under admin role and assign permissions accordingly
I tried doing the steps from that thread.
I added this in sitemap and added the ProductAdmin role in webconfig for admin
 
<font color="#a31515" size="2"><font color="#a31515" size="2"> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: blue;">
</span>
 
When i logged in as the new user, I didn't see the enter site admin tab on the top., I tried accessing the admin pages via url and i was able to access everything for admin. I didn't limit the user to just products.

Did you make any change to Admin\web.config? If so, what's your change?

Re: I need to create new roles under admin role and assign permissions accordingly
Well, you just allowed all the page access to the role ProductAdmin since you are putting it at the root level.
 
Try adding this.
 

    <location path="Admin/Catalog">

        <system.web>

            <authorization>

                <allow roles="Administrator, ProductAdmin"/>

            </authorization>

        </system.web>

    </location>

I changed the roles to just Administrator. Now i can't access any of the user functions. Not even products.
