A role represents the position or function that is assigned to a specific group of users.
Example:

• Manager Role
• Secretary Role

In Garoon, you can set administrative privileges and permissions for roles, and specify roles as recipients of notifications and users of "Shared with".

The following is an example of setting permission to access the "confidential" category in the bulletin board for the "manager" role.
Depending on the permission settings, the category looks like the following.

• Users who have been assigned the "manager" role:
  The "confidential" category is displayed on the bulletin board.
  
• Users who have not been assigned as the "manager" role:
  The "confidential" category is not displayed on the bulletin board.
  

The following roles are set by default.

Users are dynamically assigned to these roles. These roles do not appear in the role list.
The following roles are available

• Everyone:
  All users have this role. When Everyone is selected as a target of permissions, the permissions granted to Everyone are applied to all users automatically.
• LoginUser:
  Logged-in user has this role. When LoginUser is selected as a target of permissions, the permissions granted to LoginUser are applied to each user during the user logs in Garoon.
• Owner:
  Currently, no user exists for this role.
• CommandLine:
