The content , pages and iviews that are created from this role can be reused in other roles but not vice versa.

2) Freestyle Role: This roles can be created or come from the SAP business packages or from other portal such as Share Point Portal or from the SAP Portal itself.

3) Role from Back End: This roles can be created or come from the backend system i.e. ECC. When there are few existing roles in back and the customer feels that there is no need to create any new roles in Portal , then we have to go for these roles. The name will be same as the backend role name.
