> The current authentication model supports granting permissions to individual
> users. While this is OK for small or medium organizations wanting to
> implement authorization, it does not work well in large organizations because
> of the overhead of having to maintain the permissions for each user.
> Introducing roles into the authentication model would sets of permissions to
> be controlled in one place and then the role granted to users. Roles should
> also be able to be granted to other roles to allow hierarchical sets of
> permissions to be built up.
