By default, new scripts are assigned to the role of a user who belongs to only one role.

Users who are super users (ocadm role or All UI Functions) or members of more than one role are prompted with an Assign Script Roles dialog during script creation. If role assignment is bypassed, only OpCon users with adequate privileges can later assign roles using the Script Privileges editor.
