Hello there. Please note that each version of Moodle has its own documentation which you can see by checking the number in the URL. So your link is actually for a much older documentation  - 2.2 http://docs.moodle.org/22/en/Creating_custom_roles

If you just change the 22 to 27 you get the up to date version for the documentation you need - http://docs.moodle.org/27/en/Creating_custom_roles

Unfortunately, Google is not able to keep up with Moodle's up to date documentation so if you google Moodle docs you might come across older versions (although we are hopefully resolving this at the moment) Please also read How to link to Moodle documentation
