role

Roles enable access to forms and filters. Each role defines the available forms and tabs and the level of access for each (read/copy/write/delete).

What happens when a user is assigned to a role? Access to dialog boxes, forms, and tabs is controlled by the role that is associated with the lab the user is logged into.

Roles define security for types of objects. For example, a role can specify that for formulas in general, users in that role can copy but not write. Filters specify that only users within a specific role can use the filter, and the special security that comes with it.
