Defining roles (AC/BR)

Roles are codes that identify a resource's job or role in relation to activities. You can create names and descriptions of roles that are specific to your organization. You can also add organization-specific names and descriptions for the three system-defined roles that are delivered with your application. You assign the roles to resources when you assign any type of resource to an activity.
