Roles are designed for usage in the PAS components Designer and BPaaS. Use roles in BPMN (Designer) and EPC (BPaaS) models to create approval workflows where designated user groups are only allowed to execute specific process steps instead of the whole process. New roles can be created during modelling as well as in the user management.
However, roles can only be maintained within the user management: In Menu Roles you can create, rename and translate roles. And the user management is also the place where administrators can assign roles to users.
Go to the Designer Guide > Modeling BPMN for further information about the usage of roles in BPMN-based Designer services. In chapterRole-based Authorization Concept the application of roles is explained in detail.
Go to the BPaaS Guide for further information about the usage of roles in EPC-based BPaaS applications.
