function New-DbaServerRole {
    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
        Create new server-level roles.
 
    .DESCRIPTION
        The New-DbaServerRole create new roles on instance(s) of SQL Server.
 
   .PARAMETER SqlInstance
        The target SQL Server instance or instances.
 
    .PARAMETER SqlCredential
        Login to the SqlInstance instance using alternative credentials. Windows and SQL Authentication supported. Accepts credential objects (Get-Credential)
 
    .PARAMETER ServerRole
        Server-Level role to be created.
 
    .PARAMETER Owner
        The owner of the role. If not specified will assume the default dbo.
 
    .PARAMETER InputObject
        Enables piped input from Get-DbaDatabase
 
    .PARAMETER WhatIf
        Shows what would happen if the command were to run. No actions are actually performed.
 
    .PARAMETER Confirm
        Prompts you for confirmation before executing any changing operations within the command.
 
    .PARAMETER EnableException
        By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message.
        This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting.
        Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch.
