Roles (Organizations)
A role identifies the type of contribution a particular member is making to a particular application context, such as whether the person is acting as a library, product, project, or program manager, or as a reviewer, approver, or observer.
The Organizations > Roles table displays all of the roles that have been defined for the organization, and are available to assign to library, product, project, or program members of the organization that is displayed. The roles made visible on the Roles table are also available to use in the Policy Administration utility. For more information see About Dynamic Role Use in Access Control Rules, and About the Policy Administration Utility.
