User and role relationships

You can assign roles to users or user groups.

Assigning roles to users or user groups
Once permissions are added to a role, the next step is to assign users or external user groups to the role.
Assigning a consumer-sensitive role to a user or user group
If required, you can assign a consumer-sensitive role to a user or user group.
External users and user groups
User groups facilitate the administration of users and roles. With external user groups, when you want to assign the same role to multiple external users, you can create a user group and assign the role to the user group rather than to individual users.
