Role

Roles function manages the roles in the system. Each role can be assigned to 0 to many functions (permissions).

Each user inherits the functions of role .anno and role .auth.

By default, the system creates those 2 roles without any functions.

Each user has a type and inherits the functions of the role user.type.xxx, where xxx is the type of the user. If user does not have a type, it inherits the function of the role user.type.default.

This makes your user administration much easier. For example, department A has 10 users, they need the same functions. You can create a role called user.type.departA and assign functions to this role. And set the type of all the user in department A is departA. Then all the users in department A will inherit the functions in the role, user.type.departA. No roles to create and to assign to the users are required.
