Roles
Roles are collections of privileges.
Roles can contain other roles. Roles are assigned to users, not to groups. The system includes a number of predefined roles, shown in the following table, which cannot be edited. You can also create your own roles. The total set of privileges that a user has is determined by the roles assigned to that user, and the privileges associated with those roles.
You can view the privileges associated with a role. See See Assigning/De-assigning Privileges to a Role for information on how to determine the privileges in a role.
