Foil 44 What are Roles?

From untitled presentation ARL Database Tutorial -- February 98. by Gang Cheng Marek Podgorny Chao-Wei Ou
A way to classify level of database users. Like sysadm usually has superuser privileges, roles are used to group users with different privileges.
Because a DBMS system has many levels of operations which set many levels(kinds) of operation privilages,
Role is another logical level of grouping to define/specify who will have what system privileges.
It makes system management easier and more flexible.
