	New Feature in Iguana 4.5 Roles are new in Iguana 4.5. They replace user groups, which were used in previous versions of Iguana. Roles are more flexible than user groups.

Roles also make it easier to specify multiple recipients of notification messages, as you can specify that messages are to be sent to all users that are members of a specific role. For details on email notification, see Email Notification.

	For an example of how you can use channel groups and roles to limit channel access in Iguana, see the Restricting Channel Access tutorial.
