A privilege is a permission to perform an action on a specific entity type in Microsoft Dynamics CRM. The platform checks for the privilege and will fail if the user does not hold the privilege. A privilege has an associated access level that determines the depth within the organization to which the privilege applies.

A role is a grouping of security privileges. Users are assigned roles that authorize their access to Microsoft Dynamics CRM.

The following illustration shows the entity relationships for this area. For more information, see Key to Entity Diagrams.
