Roles and Capabilities
About Roles and Capabilities
A role manages the availability
of application features such as menu items and plug-ins. An application
feature that is under role-based management is called a capability.
Certain
actions are available only to users or groups that have a particular
role. Any user or group who is a member of a role has all of that
role’s capabilities.
Roles
can contribute to one another. A role automatically includes all of
the capabilities of a role that contributes to it.
Roles differ from permissions.
In general, roles do not affect access to metadata or data.

Depending on what software you have installed, you might have other
