If you want to assign multiple roles to a user at once, you can do it in the Users application. For more information, see Adding roles.


Removing users or user groups from a role

You can use the Roles application to remove a user or user group from a role. When you remove a user/group from a role, you take away the permissions associated with the role, which will cause any resources assigned to the role to be removed as well. When you remove a user group from a role on the Users application, you cancel the role assigned to all users in the group.
