AppBase security is role based. A role is created in a solution, given certain rights (also in a solution), and assigned to a user in the User Management section of System Setup. This section will cover how to create a Role ,  give permission to a role and assign that role to a user. Any role conflicts are handled by the ACL algorithm.
