Mapping Users to a Role

You can map Users to a Role once you have added and associated permissions with it. When you map Users to a Role, the permissions associated with the Role are assigned to those Users.

You cannot delete permissions granted through a User Role when editing an individual’s User Permissions at the User account level, but you can grant additional permissions to that User at the User account level. See User Permissions for instructions on granting and denying User Permissions.
If a User is mapped to a User Role and then that User's permissions are edited at the User account level, that User will be exempt from any future permission changes made to the User Role. Those changes would have to be granted individually to that User at the User account level. If a User is mapped to any Role other than the Default User Role, he or she is not considered part of the default User Role and will be exempt from any future permission changes made to the Default User Role. Permission changes for that User would have to be made in the other User Role to which he or she is mapped.
