User Settings has both Permissions and Roles tabs. Roles is a collection of permissions. Are you suppose to implement one or the other, or do they have specific implementation usage?

Hi there @jquerijero!

Roles are indeed designed to as act collections of permissions - The answer to your question really depends on your specific use case. If you had the permissions read:documents, write:documents, delete:documents, you could simplify these into roles:

  • “Viewer”: Includes only the read:documents permission.
  • “Editor”: Includes both read:documents and write:documents.
  • “Admin”: Includes read:documents, write:documents, and delete:documents.

Roles are generally encouraged to manage user permissions efficiently. Please see below for helpful information on Role Based Access Control (RBAC):
