Examples of Hierarchical Roles
By assigning a sub-role to a role, you assign all the authorizations of the sub-role to that role.
For example, consider the following two tables that compare the same roles and corresponding
authorizations. Notice that Table 3, "Example Roles Configuration Using Hierarchical Roles
in HP-UX RBAC B.11.23.03," demonstrates how hierarchical roles simplifies the management
of roles:
