Application users generally fall into categories, or roles. A person in each role needs permissions to work with some kinds of data (objects), but typically doesn't need to work with (or even see) other kinds data.

Users that have the Access Control/User Management permission can create teams and roles, add users, assign users to teams, and designate access permission rights
