I have a library in sharepoint which is not inheriting permissions from its parent site. However, when I go to library permissions, then to the Edit Tab->Grant group, there is no option to 'Create a Group'. There is an option to Grant Permissions to Individual users. Can somebody explain why there is no option to Create a Group in library permissions. I read the sharepoint manual and there should be such an option
SharePoint Groups can be created only on SPWeb level.
In your case you can created the group in the web containing this list, add required users and then you can grant permissions for this group to the list.

I'm working on requirement, where we have a list with categories we want to maintain list own our own. we want others to restrict from add/ delete/modify, only we want to do that.
Is it possible to do it in SharePoint?
Yes. You can stop inheriting permissions from the site in the list and assign unique permissions to the users.
Go to List sttings > Permissions for this list.
Click Stop Inheriting Permissions in the ribbon > Slect all existing groups and users > Remove User Permissions > Grant full control Permissions to specific users and grant read permission to other users.
So I have a SharePoint site with a few different pages.
I want to add someone to that SharePoint site, but I want them to only be able to see the one library in the site and nothing else.
I know that it can be done but I'm unsure as to how.
Yon need to configure the libraray to have unique permission.
Break permission inheritance in SharePoint Online: Go to library settings-> Permissions for this document library-> click Stop Inheriting Permissions.
Assign unique permissions in SharePoint Online:Go to the Permissions page mentioned above, Click Grant Permissions to give user access.

Navigate to that particular library ->library settings -> Permission for this library -> Break inheritance of that library(stop inheriting permissions)-> Click on Grant Permissions(here you can add that users with permission)
This is how we can add the user to the specific library.

I am trying to create a role in SharePoint 2013 but I am unable to find any kind of option to create a new role. I don't want to create group. I know there is difference between role and group. I have created roles and groups using SharePoint 2013 client library code, but now I want to create role manually in SharePoint 2013.
I am not sure if I understand this correctly but I am suggesting you a few things:
Supposing that you have access to the site permissions, you could navigate to Site Settings -> Site permissions (under Users and Permissions). In the ribbon you find the Permission Levels button and once you click it you will go to a page where you can add new permission levels or maybe edit/delete the existing ones.
When you create/edit a permission level, you can choose what kind of permission that permission level will have, for instance, "Add/Delete Items Items" for list permissions or "Create sub-sites/groups"
I would refer you to this link Use SharePoint permission management to create various roles in an app for SharePoint
We want some users of one of our SharePoint site to manage permissions on their site but do not want them to give the permission called "Manage Permissions". Because if we do so, the users start assigning the built in permission level “Full Control” to themselves. How can we achieve this?
Please note that the users with the permission level "Manage Permissions" can create and change permission levels on the Web site [Ref: Microsoft]. What we want for them to only be able to create users, groups, and assign certain permissions on the site to those users and groups.
"we want for them ... and assign permissions"
you DO realize that they can just as easily be assigning Full Control to these groups? isn't that what you say you want to AVOID?
manage the permissions for them, and allow them to self manage the GROUP MEMBERS. that way they can add people to the "publishers" group... and net result is that the user has "publish" permissions.
solution 2 can be extrapolated for some very granular needs, but I don't explain how because I wouldn't recommend it.
This is baffling me. I used PowerShell to add about 35 libraries to a site and then create and ADD 3 permissions groups for each library which are set to use unique permissions.
After running my code I thought all was fine. When I go to the site I see all the libraries that I made and can go into each of them and the permissions for each library are correct. However, if I go in as any other user I can't see any of the libraries. Even if I go to all "All Site Content" it's as if they don't exist.
I am the site collection admin and am part of that site's Owners group, but other people in the Owner's group can't see the libraries.
Any Ideas?
It might be that the other users who cannot see those library are not having any permission on that library,since you have broken inheritance. You can verify this by logging in as Site administrator. Open the document library--> Library settings-->Permissions for this document library --> Check Permissions. Here type in the user for whom the library was not available, then you can see if that user is actually having any permission on that library or not.
In SharePoint, it has 5 permission level: full control, design, contribute, read, limit access. Permissions are categorized as list permissions, site permissions, and personal permissions, depending upon the objects to which they can be applied; and it can be inherited from the parent, or it can have its own. if one user doesn't have the permission to a list, the user can't see it.
Permissions control is complex in SharePoint, See these MSDN articles for details:
