Virtual system - creating and using roles
Introduction
If you followed the quick start tutorial to create a virtual system, you should find that among the attributes in your scheme, there is one called "'Rights' - multivalued merge attribute." This attribute can be best managed using roles, as we will show in this tutorial. They allow for an easier, safer and more regular rights management in connected systems.
