A role is a set of permissions. Typically, the permissions in a role define a particular activity that a user might do. A user can be assigned to more than one role. The number of roles and their permissions is up to you. In addition to the roles you create, IBM® UrbanCode Release provides several roles that you can use or modify.
Users are granted permissions by being assigned to roles. When assigned to a role, a user is automatically granted all permissions that are granted to the role. Typical activities include creating or changing releases, or modifying security settings.
