Adding Roles to your Functionality

Roles are used throughout the user experience to restrict a user’s ability to see, modify, or interact with elements of the form.

By default, a user who has access to a form has full permission to save, delete, or modify its underlying record data. You can create user experience permissions at multiple levels to restrict a user’s access based upon the roles you have assigned them.

This capability enables you to provide fine grained control of every aspect of the user experience.
