Additionally, Role ID's are specific to the application...which means that a deployable application can be dropped onto a new server, and have the roles mapped to existing groups on the new server without breaking anything. If it's a local application then the permissions are tied to a group id...if the group id that the application uses is already in use on the destination server...you are screwed...I believe that this architecture was setup so that Company A could sell an application to Company B without regard for if the group ID's the application was built on are already in use on the destination server

I read through the docs couple of times and still can't seem to understand the usage of roles. I know users are part of one or more group(s). A role can have one group when in Test and another group when in Production. Is that all: All roles does is provide access to the application to different set of users based on the deployable application state? So do the groups and roles have to exist on the destination arserver before exporting an imported application from my test server to the development arserver? Also looks like the advantage of using deployable application instead of local application is that it can be licensesed and tracked. Is that the only reason why someone would use deployable?
