Explain Inherited Roles

The inherited roles are the roles which appear as shown in the image:

So my questions are:

  1. What are inherited roles? Please explain.
  2. What are the use-cases in which roles would appear in this section for a User?

Thanks in advance.

Solution

  • You can (for example) be member of a UserGroup which is assigned a role. This would not be editable on the user profile, but an effective role that is good to see if it's there. The other "independent" roles (e.g. through an organization) should also appear there.
