Viewing Roles

Roles used in the Virtuozzo Containers security model are system objects created to embody a certain multitude of permissions, i. e. the parameters that ultimately define the scope of the privileges the user is endowed with. In other words, roles are users' attributes and are made up of permissions. Permissions are all possible actions that a user or administrator is allowed to perform in the Hardware Node or Container context.
