Roles are groups of permissions

Roles are groups of permissions. You can assign roles to users. You can also assign roles to producer codes. The roles assigned to a producer code customize what a user with that producer code can do. Role-based security describes how to assign roles to users.

The following illustration shows how producer codes and users are attached to roles. Each role has permissions associated with it.

For example, a PolicyCenter application might have roles for an audit examiner and a producer. The audit examiner has permissions to complete and create an audit. The producer has permissions to create submissions, quote, and bind policies.
