Assigned role-based access is a collection of permissions has been defined as a role, it can be assigned to a group or user. All groups or users assigned to that role are granted the access allowed by the role permissions. What should you keep in mind?
GOOD PRACTICE: Rather than assigning roles to individual users, add the users to a group and assign the role to the group. This method of role assignment simplifies maintenance when responsibilities within the organization change. A user can be removed from one group and added to a new group, inheriting all the permissions needed to the perform their new duties.
