9.1 Overview

You can create different user roles and assign them different permissions. Role assignment helps you control users access to functionality, data access based on fields in the incoming events, or both. Each role can contain any number of users. Users belonging to the same role inherit the permissions of the role they belong to. You can set multiple permissions for a role.
