role

A logical grouping that is assigned as metadata to system users (human and machine) for security purposes. For example, roles may be used to group users as administrators (admin), regular users (user), and operators (operator).

Roles speed the management of permissions for a large number of users. The permissions of a group of users that share the same role can be updated by changing the role’s permissions instead of updating each user’s permissions individually.

You manage roles using the RoleService.
