A logical grouping of permissions and production tasks. Roles are assigned rights for the Production module, and they include users and user groups.
Roles are unique to each solution. For example, in a solution that is used to run tests, a verifier role might have permission to delete documents. In a solution that contains critical data, a role with the same name might not have that permission. By assigning users to different roles in different solutions, it is possible to change their permissions and assigned production tasks in a very dynamic way. (More information.)
Roles are also used in the Invoice modules; see Editing roles and users for the inbox view.
