https://linear.app/unleash/issue/2-1136/custom-root-roles-documentation
- [Adds documentation referencing custom root
roles](https://unleash-docs-git-docs-custom-root-roles-unleash-team.vercel.app/reference/rbac);
- [Adds a "How to create and assign custom root roles" how-to
guide](https://unleash-docs-git-docs-custom-root-roles-unleash-team.vercel.app/how-to/how-to-create-and-assign-custom-root-roles);
- Standardizes "global" roles to "root" roles;
- Standardizes "standard" roles to "predefined" roles to better reflect
their behavior and what is shown in our UI;
- Updates predefined role descriptions and makes them consistent;
- Updates the side panel description of the user form;
- Includes some boy scouting with some tiny fixes of things identified
along the way (e.g. the role form was persisting old data when closed
and re-opened);
Questions:
- Is it worth expanding the "Assigning custom root roles" section in the
"How to create and assign custom root roles" guide to include the steps
for assigning a root role for each entity (user, service account,
group)?
- Should this PR include an update to the existing "How to create and
assign custom project roles" guide? We've since updated the UI;

### What
We've had this marked as deprecated through our v4, this PR removes it.
### Worth noting
This updates the deprecation notices with removal notices in the
documentation as well.
### Considerations
The tags API is still located under
/api/admin/features/{featureName}/tags. It should be moved to
/api/admin/projects/{project}/features/{featureName}/tags. I vote we do
that in a separate PR, we'd probably also need to deprecate the existing
tags endpoints for v5 and remove in v6. We could use 308s to signify
that they are moved.

## What
This (admittedly massive) PR updates the "physical" documentation
structure and fixes url inconsistencies and SEO problems reported by
marketing. The main points are:
- remove or move directories : advanced, user_guide, deploy, api
- move the files contained within to the appropriate one of topics,
how-to, tutorials, or reference
- update internal doc links and product links to the content
- create client-side redirects for all the urls that have changed.
A number of the files have been renamed in small ways to better match
their url and to make them easier to find. Additionally, the top-level
api directory has been moved to /reference/api/legacy/unleash (see the
discussion points section for more on this).
## Why
When moving our doc structure to diataxis a while back, we left the
"physical' files lying where they were, because it didn't matter much to
the new structure. However, that did introduce some inconsistencies with
where you place docs and how we organize them.
There's also the discrepancies in whether urls us underscores or hyphens
(which isn't necessarily the same as their file name), which has been
annoying me for a while, but now has also been raised by marketing as an
issue in terms of SEO.
## Discussion points
The old, hand-written API docs have been moved from /api to
/reference/api/legacy/unleash. There _is_ a /reference/api/unleash
directory, but this is being populated by the OpenAPI plugin, and mixing
those could only cause trouble. However, I'm unsure about putting
/legacy/ in the title, because the API isn't legacy, the docs are. Maybe
we could use another path? Like /old-docs/ or something? I'd appreciate
some input on this.
