Use Case Example:

Imagine you're a training manager in a large corporate organisation responsible for delivering internal staff training. You have a variety of courses on different topics, each requiring different levels of access and permissions streamlining administration and tailored access, ensuring that users have the necessary permissions.‍

For Example: You can assign the 'Course Instructor' role to subject matter experts who create and manage course content while assigning the 'Learner' role to employees who participate only in the training.
