The securityRole element is a child of the parserOptions element. It has no child elements.

For statement-level security, Oracle ATG Web Commerce Search requires a processing option to specify which roles are accessible for the current query:

<securityRole>role</securityRole>

The role is the name of a security region, as expressed in the XHTML. Multiple elements of this type represent a logical OR of accessible regions. These role values are converted into statement features and act as a filter on the candidate statements.
