Understanding Security
This section discusses:
User profiles, roles, and permission lists.
Delivered roles and permission lists.
You assign roles to user profiles. Roles link user profiles to permission lists, which group authorizations.
Permission lists store sign-on times, page access, PeopleTools access, and so on. You can assign multiple roles to a user profile, and you can assign multiple permission lists to a role.
