Create a specified security role

POST {{baseUrl}}/api/securityRoles

Create a new security role. You obtain the authorization token needed to execute the request using POST /auth/login; you pass the authorization token in the request header. You can create a new security role and specify the security role name, description, and assigned privileges. You can assign this created security role to users and usergroups for specific projects. The response will contain the id for the newly created security role, which can be used to obtain the new created security role info using GET /securityRoles/{id}.
