The basics is users and groups. Users are people registered in your app. Groups are their roles: manager, secretary, financial, and so on.
Each user has at least one role, ie, belongs to at least one group. This is a membership. Each group defines a profile, ie, a set of permissions users that belong to it, can do in your system. For example: managers can include new employess. Secretaries can add a contat to the address book.
