Roles
A role is a set of permissions that allows a user to perform specific functions. Each permission type defines the functions it allows.
An admin grants permissions by role to an individual or to a group.
Note
Permission roles are different from other types of roles such as review roles and Signer roles.

User admin limitations
Can set permissions only for groups/users on projects where they are project admin.
Can manage organization group membership only for groups where they are a member.
Can't make changes or additions to users or groups that have been assigned to organization or process admins except for activation/deactivation and license management.
Can manage only members of a group where they are also a member. This restriction ensures they don't unintentionally provide or remove access to unknown or existing projects.
Important
Users must have the license type that allows for the permissions granted with each role.
