# Roles
The Roles is the core access-profile management system within the platform’s Identity and Access Management (IAM) architecture.
A Role represents a reusable authorization profile that groups one or more Permission Lists together. Users and User Groups inherit access through assigned Roles.
The module acts as the bridge between:
* Permission Definitions
* User Authorization
* Runtime API Access Control
# Position in IAM Architecture
The Roles Module sits between Permission Lists and Users.
