Hi,

the difference is on how you assign the roles to users. Position based means that roels are assigned according to the position the user has in the org-structure.

Roles are assigned to the position and each user who is assigned to the position gets those roles assigned.

You can identify such roles as they are assigned indirectly (blue colour in SU01 and PFCG(tab users)) and if hr-org is activated and maintained in your system.

Administrators should know of how they assign roles in your system. Just ask them.
