Documentation for Crowd 2.2. Documentation for other versions of Crowd is available too.
Roles are not often used in Crowd. Correctly speaking a role is a collection of permissions, while a group is a collection of users. Currently in Crowd, roles are not clearly defined and are not used much.
As previously announced, roles are now deprecated in Crowd. We have not changed the functionality of roles in Crowd 2.1, but we do recommend that you move away from the use of roles in your Crowd installation so that you will not be adversely affected by the planned redesign of role functionality. Roles are disabled by default when you create a new LDAP directory. We recommend that you leave roles disabled, unless you have existing data that includes roles.
At present, the implementation of roles in Crowd is identical to the implementation of groups. This design does not provide much useful functionality, so we are planning to redesign the way Crowd supports roles. If you would like to help us to design better role-based access control, please add a comment to the improvement request CWD-931, letting us know how you would like to see it work.
