What defines a Role in the context of access rights?

In the context of access rights, a Role is defined as a collection of access rights or privileges. This means that a Role does not just represent a single access right but encompasses multiple permissions that can be granted to users or user groups within a database system. By grouping various privileges into a Role, system administrators can manage access rights more efficiently, allowing for easier assignment of necessary permissions based on job functions or responsibilities. Instead of individually assigning each access right to users, administrators can assign the Role, which in turn grants all associated privileges at once.

This approach not only streamlines the process of managing user permissions but also enhances security and compliance by ensuring that users have the appropriate level of access based on their roles within the organization. It aligns with best practices in access management by promoting a structured way to define and control what users can do within the database environment.
