 A user may not add a new user with a greater amount of access than they themselves have. For example, if you only have the [[Business Owner Role|'''Business Owner Role''']] you can't apply the [[Alliance Partner Role|'''Alliance Partner Role''']] to anyone since that is a system reserved key role. Likewise, members cannot delete users with a greater amount of access than they themselves have. For example members with access to edit roles cannot remove the [[Business Owner Role|'''Business Owner Role''']] ''from'' users unless they also have the [[Alliance Partner Role|'''Alliance Partner Role''']]. This is known as restricting privilege escalation and prevents users with the ability to assign roles from gaining access to areas and permissions that they don't already have. Further, you may not change your own roles. You must have someone with the proper privileges assign roles to you. This step further enhances the security of the Role Management System so that one single individual may not gain unauthorized access to restricted areas by simply changing their own roles.
