Roles and Access Scopes
In Resource Orchestrator, operations or the resources to operate can be limited depending on the user.
Roles are definitions of users and the various operations that they are able to use, which are based on combinations of resource types and the types of operations using resources.
The scope of resources available for users in Resource Orchestrator is called an access scope (scope).
