I have been reviewing the privileges for the roles in VC 2.0.1 and can guess what most of them do, but not all. We are going to create some custome roles in our environment, and I was wondering if anyone had a link to a doc that defines them in detail. These are the things I'm looking for detailed explanations on:

Um...yes, that appears to be correct. Funny thing is that I'm pretty sure I read that part before I even knew what it was, then didn't read it when I was looking for it. Thanks Michael.
No problem.
I'm sure the original guide was missing that section. It is worth re-downloading the docs to check if any new updates have been added.
Glad it helped.
Michael.
