Application roles

Application roles provide a way to group permissions by function and assign them to users.

Application roles are collections of application permissions. When you assign a user to a role, you grant the user all of the permissions for that role.

You can assign the same permission to multiple roles. For example, at a bank, both an account administrator and loan officer could have permission to view accounts.

You can also assign multiple roles to the same user. For example, at a small regional bank, Jim might be both an account administrator and a loan officer.

You can assign users to roles when you create an application role or when you edit a user. Learn more in Adding an application role and Managing user roles.
