Permissibility plays a large role in the One Network Platform - numerous APIs require one to provide a PlatformUserContext so they can restrict operations and/or filter data appropriately.

Users and Roles can be defined at different levels:

Users can be defined beneath a ValueChain, or beneath an Enterprise. A ValueChain user is typically a high-level administrator for a Platform instance whose responsibilities cut across all Enterprises. Enterprise users are more common; these users belong to a company and are administered within that company.

Roles can be defined beneath a ValueChain, an Enterprise, an Organization or a Site. The level at which the Role is defined can be used by APIs to restrict access to information and operations. Each User plays only one Role at a time, but can have multiple Roles to choose from. (This association is done through the UserAssociation model.

The context information about the current user and the role they are currently playing is available through PlatformUserContext, which can be acquired via UserContextService.

PlatformUserProfile contains additional information for a user, including preferences set through the user interface such as Locale, preferred number and date formats, etc.
