I have a question about how the group attribute/field for roles differs from the list of roles that appear at the bottom of the group form page. I'm attaching two images so you can see what I'm talking about. So my question is, how are these different? And what is the effect of each on system access permissions?
In the current documentation for creating groups (http://wiki.servicenow.com/index.php?title=Creating_Groups) there's not even a reference to the roles field/attribute for groups. Am I missing it? I'd be glad to just get pointed to some documentation so I can read about it. Any help?

It's a legacy field that hasn't been used for several years. It should be removed from your form and never be used. The related list is the way to go.

That's really good to know. Thanks for the quick response. Obviously I'm new to SN so I'm sure there will be lots more of these kinds of things coming up for me in the coming months. Thanks again.

Feel free to deactivate the sys_user_group.roles field in the Dictionary, too. Then it won't even show as an option for forms/lists/reports.

Agreed, and do the same for the 'roles' field on the User table.
