Note: The Power User does not necessarily require specific security roles to perform tasks. For example, if a Power User runs a calculation from the Calculate screen, this action creates and executes a taskflow behind the scenes. The Power User does not require the Manage Taskflow role to perform this task, unless the Power User wants to access this task directly from the Manage Taskflows task.
