Roles are, of course, the main focus of RBAC models. A role should have a unique name. Usually, a role is designed to correspond to a job function in a company, e.g. clerk, manager, programmer, etc. It is also customary for roles to be arranged in a role hierarchy [4] or role graph [7]. In the ANSI standard, the model called Core RBAC does not include role hierarchies.
