Creating and populating a new role definition
Role definitions are normally based on a job function in your organization’s workflow. The
tasks and operations that are associated with the role provide the mechanism for granting
permissions to access content or perform actions.

several lower level roles and tasks), the authorization rules run synchronously. In
