In EmpowerID, Management Roles are collections of operational capabilities packaged as job-based bundles that let you make quick and easy bulk assignments of resources to users that match what they do in your organization. They can be thought of as a powerful form of groups that allow you to grant access across platforms, not being limited to one application or operating system. EmpowerID includes a number of Management Roles that you can assign to people out of the box, and you can create new ones as needed.

Each Management Role is a child of a of a Management Role Definition. Management Role Definitions provide a baseline of access that you can use as a starting point for defining the access to resources given to a Management Role. EmpowerID provides a number of Management Role Definitions out of the box, and you can create new ones as needed.
