What are roles and permissions?
Authorisation areas have roles with permissions. Each authorisation has pre-defined roles with permissions suitable for the role. Custom roles can be added to authorisation areas, such as when the predefined roles do not meet the requirements of your institution.
Predefined roles
The predefined roles and permissions are detailed in the following topics:
Groups are assigned to roles in authorisation areas. Groups need to be assigned to a role to use the required web app, such as Applications, and to roles to be granted permissions to use features in the web app. For example, the table Example role assignments shows the assignments for groups to use

Custom roles
Custom roles can be added to authorisation areas. Custom roles can have any the permissions available in the authorisation areas.
