Roles have types

The role type specifies whether that role can be assigned to users, producer codes, or both. PolicyCenter has the following role types:

  • User Role – Can be assigned only to users.
  • Producer Code Role – Can be assigned only to producer codes.
  • User Producer Code Role – Can be assigned to either users or producer codes.
Note: The User Producer Code Role is not functionally necessary, but allows you to have one role that you can assign to both users and producer codes. It would require two roles to assign the same permissions to both producer codes and users if this type did not exist.
