Permissions refer to the rights assigned or granted by the System Administrator to a user or group to perform a set of operations. In context of Nexport Campus, there are various such permission categories, such as create bookshelves, edit catalogs, manage certificates, and other permissions. A role is a representative of assigned permissions. A role provides the means to assign multiple permissions to a user or group.
