In FDI, job-specific roles are referred to as what?

• A. Groups
• B. Roles
• C. Jobs
• D. Permissions

Answer: (A)

In FDI, job-specific roles are represented by Groups. A group acts as a container for all users who share a particular job function. You assign the permissions needed for that function to the group, and users gain those permissions simply by being members of the group. This makes management scalable and auditable: if someone takes on a different job, you move them to the appropriate group and the access changes automatically rather than editing permissions for many individual users. While roles describe the set of permissions a user can have, and permissions are the rights themselves, the mechanism used to assign those rights en masse in FDI is the grouping of users into Groups.
