You must identify which job roles and abstract roles need access to content sections and the level of access each role needs. This topic provides examples of content-section access for some roles and identifies tasks that users with those roles can perform.
Scenario:

- Competencies
- Degree

The organization has employee, line manager, and license manager roles. An appropriate person security profile is assigned to each role. According to the person security profile:
