    Role is template which contains a combination of T-codes, Reports.... which inturn creates a profile.   100 authorizations make a profile

    Hi,   Note that Roles generates Profiles for you.which you can see when you create a role may be Single or composite role. however we can create our own profiles but SAP does not recommend the same.   Regards Kumar

    Hi,  

    Yes Roles is something like a wrapper around Profiles.. you are supposed to maintain the authorisations using roles..
