Two roles can be defined to be mutually exclusive for:
Membership – a single user cannot be granted both roles. For example, an installation might not want a single user to have both the “payment_requestor” and “payment_approver” roles to be granted to the same user.
Activation – a single user cannot activate, or enable, both roles. For example, a user might be granted both the “senior_auditor” and the “equipment_buyer” roles, but the installation may not want to permit the user to have both roles enabled at the same time.
System roles, as well as user-defined roles, can be defined to be in a role hierarchy or to be mutually exclusive. For example, you might want a “super_user” role to contain the System Administrator, Operator, and Tech Support roles. In addition, you might want to define the System Administrator and System Security Officer roles to be mutually exclusive for membership; that is, a single user cannot be granted both roles.
See “Creating and assigning roles to users” for information on administering and using roles.
