What is the use of contain roles in role?

Hi,

Can you elaborate what are you talking about, some context ?

I think you are talking about this

If so, This is when a role encapsulates other roles.

For Eg, App User and App Admin, App user can exit independently, but app admin can do everything app user can and more, so i will just have app admin inherit app user also.

SO in the example App Admin will contain App User

Can you elaborate what you're talking about.

I think what you mean though is adding roles to a role. So for example, when you give the ITIL it contains other roles within it. That gives you the ability to select one role but actually provide the user with multiple roles.

Hi,

Contains role shows all nested roles contained within.

Let's use ITIL as an example:

So in this screenshot, as a quick example, this is saying that if you give someone the ITIL role, they'll also get these other roles as well.
