USERS who are assigned to that role.

Roles are otherwise called Activity Groups or User Role Templates.

Role is always dependent of profile whereas profile can be independent of role.

client '000' and login with sap*, then 'stms' and create from here all the three, and do according to the
above procedure and after making all three go through 'transport routs' then configuration, & then three
