A user role is a consolidation of several permissions. A permission is a 'delegation of authority' or a 'right' assigned to a user or a group of users to perform an action on a system. Permissions can be granted to or revoked from a user/user group/user role automatically or by a system administrator. For example, if a user has the permission to log in to a systems, then the permission to log out is automatically implied without the need of granting it specifically.
