Security - Roles
A Role is a set of privileges or permissions assigned to one or more users. The privileges and permissions can involve various
functions or allow access to specific ports. Any privileges or permissions set for a role are inherited by all users sharing that role.
Multiple roles can be assigned to a user, but at the same time, roles are not required for users. A user can have zero roles assigned
to it.
NOTE:
You cannot assign a permission directly to a user. All user permissions are determined by the Role assigned to the user.
NOTE:
If you have a remote directory such as LDAP enabled, the common name of the LDAP group on the LDAP server must match the
name of the Role assigned to the user on the Master.
