Roles Module
The Roles module is where you can create and configure roles.
What is a role?
A role gives parties access to view or change parts of the system.
What are roles used for?
Roles are used to control access to different parts of the application and to objects managed by the application. Some standard roles are provided with the system. You can use these built-in roles, and also create new roles.
Roles and authorities
An authority is a specific type of access to a specific object for a specific party (or for ALL PARTIES). A role is a collection of these authorities and you can extend a role by adding more authorities to the role.
