Roles and Permissions (intro)

https://github.com/rbohl/liferay-docs/blob/LRDOCS-4999-roles-permissions-7.1/discover/portal/articles/190-managing-users/02-roles-and-permissions/00-intro.markdown

Roles collect permissions, and users are assigned to roles, either directly or through their association with a User Group, an Organization, or a Site.

  • Is this accurate? To my knowledge, the only association that allows a user to inherit a role is User Group. Organization and Site memberships do not grant role associations. Is there a working example of this somewhere? I could be wrong but I'd like to double-check.

Read here for more information about teams.

The "here" link seems to be broken, but maybe that's known/expected

#Defining Role Permissions https://github.com/rbohl/liferay-docs/blob/LRDOCS-4999-roles-permissions-7.1/discover/portal/articles/190-managing-users/02-roles-and-permissions/02-roles-and-permissions.markdown

Note: The Roles application in the Control Panel is not the only place where permissions are configured. You can configure a role's permissions for a particular application instance from its Options () menu. However, permissions granted or removed in the Control Panel override those made at the more granular level.

Is there an example of this? I'm not sure from reading it what area its referring to

Also, the screenshots for the define permissions screen will most likely need to be updated since we're going to fix some of the ugly visual elements there.
