Child Roles

The role hierarchy defines a parent-child relationship between an organizational role and its child roles. A child role itself is an organizational role.
The user members of a child role inherit the following attributes from the parent role:
  • The entitlements associated with provisioning policies
  • The permissions associated with the Access Control Items (ACIs)
  • The ability to participate in workflow activities
When a child role is removed from a parent role, the entitlements associated with the parent role might be removed and are no longer inherited by the members of the child role.
