A role defines the applications that project group members with that role can use,
and the specific things project group members can do in each application.
Any project groups administrator can create and assign a role. It is a good idea to
check the existing global project roles before creating any new role for a project
group.
Note: Any existing site-wide or global project role can be associated with a
project group. It is advisable to check the permissions granted via a role before
assigning it to users or user groups in a project group as it would impact more than
a single project.
