What is the difference between user permissions and role-based security?

Manage Roles provides a way to develop templates of permissions and access models that can be assigned to a group of users that will have the exact same usage of the Ntracts system.

Manage Users provides a way to develop individual security needs for the unique user whose security may differ from any of the roles developed in Manage Roles.

These functions are only available to internal system administrators.
