English term or phrase: role
Hi everybody!

I don't really know what would be the translation for this term. At the first sight I thought "papel" (I don't really like this one) or "función". Do you know the translation?? Here is a part of the text:

Groups are based on the roles they are assigned, while roles are based on the rights they are assigned. Rights, roles, and groups are defined as follows:
· A right is a permission to perform a specific task.
· A role is a set of rights typically consisting of a set of related rights that should be assigned together. However, you can create a role from any of the rights available in XXX.
· A group is a set of roles that defines the scope of a user account. Users can belong to more than one group, and their overall scope is determined by all of the rights they have.


Thanks a lot!
