Role security is based on a [[Role|role]] that you associate with the [[User|user]]. With this scheme, you first create one or more [[Role|roles]], and then associate each [[User|user]] with one or more of those roles.
By setting a default [[User|user]] role in your [[Personal Settings|personal settings]], the system will always assume that you are adding someone using a specific [[Role|role]] when you add a new person to the system.
<u>'''Advantages'''</u>
There are three advantages to role-based security:
* You can make individuals, regardless of their organisation, members of a [[Role|role]] and give them access to a resource.
* When you move the [[User|user]] to another organisation, it does not effect their permission to access a resource.
* Associating the [[Role|role]] with the resource is less time consuming if the alternative is to associate the resource to many organisations.
<u>'''Disadvantages'''</u>
* You must create the [[Role|roles]] and remember to set the appropriate roles when you create a new [[User|user]].
* If you upload new [[User|users]], you must choose the correct [[Role|roles]] in the upload wizard; however, you will be prompted.
