A role is a collection of permissions or predefined privileges. Privileges define individual rights that a user requires to perform actions within the application.  

Roles determine:

1. Which menus or web pages of the FMRP Supply Chain Workbench a user can view.
2. Whether the user can perform functions such as create, modify or delete. 

Roles are an efficient way to manage permissions for groups of users as they classify users with similar characteristics and responsibilities.

 

All users or user groups assigned to a given role inherit the permissions defined for that role. A user ID or user group can be assigned zero, one, or many roles.
