3. Roles

RBAC configuration

Podium initializes the authManager component with the full structure of permissions and roles as the default option.
In case you already set this component, place 'rbacComponent' => 'inherit' in the module configuration. This way Podium can add new definitions there and not interfere with the main app.

Only DbManager version of authManager is supported.
