The Older Paradigm - Roles and Page level access controls
When you build a custom application for a specific customer, the access control policies
of the organization are often defined upfront as part of the requirements phase.
Depending on the vertical, domain and the specific organizational structure of the
business, first the roles are defined.

What role A can do could be different from what role B is allowed to do.
