+### Create custom roles using Terraform
+
+You can use the [Grafana Terraform provider](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/grafana/grafana/latest/docs) to manage custom roles and their assignments. This is the recommended method for Grafana Cloud users who want to manage RBAC as code. For more information, refer to [Provisioning RBAC with Terraform](ref:rbac-terraform-provisioning).
+
+The following example creates a custom role and assigns it to a team:
+
+```terraform
+resource "grafana_role" "custom_folder_manager" {
+  name        = "custom:folders:manager"
+  description = "Custom role for reading and creating folders"
+  uid         = "custom-folders-manager"
+  version     = 1
+  global      = true
+
+  permissions {
+    action = "folders:read"
+    scope  = "folders:*"
+  }
+
+  permissions {
+    action = "folders:create"
+    scope  = "folders:uid:general" # Allows creating folders at the root level
+  }
+}
+
+resource "grafana_role_assignment" "custom_folder_manager_assignment" {
+  role_uid = grafana_role.custom_folder_manager.uid
+  teams    = ["<TEAM_UID>"]
+}
+```
+
+For more information, refer to the [`grafana_role`](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/grafana/grafana/latest/docs/resources/role) and [`grafana_role_assignment`](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/grafana/grafana/latest/docs/resources/role_assignment) documentation in the Terraform Registry.
